hepatitis c
"I have had Hep since ~1980 - never knew about Hep-C till around the late 1990's when they first could diagnose.

I was diagnosed Hep-C genotype 2 in August 2015 and began a 16-week regime of Sovaldi-Ribavirin after appeal/approval by my insurance in ~Nov. 2015.

I have a small (1.4CM) spot of cancer on my liver which was just treated this week (Jan. 2016).  I have very little fibrosis and my MELD is 7.5.

As of DEC. 2015 my HepC is undetectable - with a duplicate test this last week (Jan 2016).

I am about half way through the third 28-day supply of my 16 week regime - thus I have about another 6 weeks to go.

I have had little to no side effects and I feel blessed to have had this treatment.  I think it will add quality years to my life."
