If you're in the UK, you could try this website for helplines and support groups: http://www.hepctrust.org.uk/
Maybe you can get info there on new drug approval datelines for the UK, plus help in dealing with your hep C problems.

Nan thank u very much for your comment. And garygee when dya think these new drugs will b in the UK? Thx
I am hoping I can find the right words that will help you. Knowledge is power. Having Hep C is not a death sentence especially now that there are new drugs that will actually cure you. It is true that Hep C has been attacking your liver. The good news is you don't have cirrhosis which means your liver can still repair itself. The fact that you were on treatment for 10 weeks actually helped to give your liver a break. My husband lasted only 5 weeks on triple treatment but then remained unquantifiable for 8 months until his transplant. We like to think his 5 weeks on treatment prevented his cirrhosis from progressing to liver cancer.
More good news - the new drugs that are out and another hopefully to be approved later this year have higher cure rates than previous treatments and from what I have read have much fewer side effects.
So hang in there - take good care of yourself as best you can while you wait for the new treatment when you will finally get rid of this virus and live the rest of your life - Hep C free. Stay positive and keep hope alive!

Perhaps the newer drugs, sofosbuvir, etc. will help you. All oral, fewer side effects. Good luck.
