Oops!  I was trying to say that if you have F3 or F4 Cirrhosis, then it would depend a lot on what the doctors thought.

You also asked if you could safely wit a year.  

In order to offer (our non-medical) opinion, we would need to know a little more.

Have you had a biopsy or fibroscan in recent history to know the status of your liver.

If you do not have fibrosis, or have very early levels, (F, F1, or F2), you should be able to wait that year.

If you have later levels (F3, or F4 cirrhosis) then it woulr depend on lots of doctors.

Please remember, we are not doctors, here, just people like you, going through this same disese.

What ever you choose, good luck and good treating.

There are no doctors here. We are all victims of the virus.
The meds can't be taken alone. There must be another ingredient to go with Solvadi like ledipasvir which is Harvoni combo or Olysio.  Cheap meds?
That's iffy. Maybe you can get a grant. Let's see if someone else has any ideas besides coming to the states and getting Insurance.
