Great news!  Good job defending your health care.

That is very good news. Now the doc needs to get his butt in gear and follow the protocol. Good luck.

Make sure you dont take "no" for an answer, from your Doctor.  There is obviously a reason why they use 48 weeks, and much research has gone into this, that's why it's the protocol. Good luck to you, for tuesday~

It is amazing to me that the doctor took such a cavalier approach to your need for additional prescriptions.  Some doctors have to fight the ins companies for meds.  I am wondering what is going on with the clearly incompetent doctors treating people with Hep C.  As if it is not important.
I hope you can get this worked out.  Can your insurance help you?  When I was on tx and could not get my meds approved I called my patient advocate and they called the doctor.
I am sorry you are going through this, wishing you the best
