I started Harvoni Oct.29 for 12 weeks. Next Weds will be my 8 week blood tests. This treatment has been a breeze compared to the 48 weeks of Interferon!!!

Yes, I agree harvoni has been easier than interferon and ribv. I was on that for 12 months of hell and the virus was undetectable, but came back.  Tomorrow I go for my 4 week bloodwork results.

Hi Mina
I have my 4 week test tomorrow too!

I was a null responder to 3 tries with interferon and relapsed on 12 weeks of Sov/Oly although I was undetectable at week 4. I am genotype 1a with cirrhosis dx Jan 08. So hoping this try of 24 weeks Harvoni gets the job done this time.

Good luck to all my fellow heppers

Fred- Minimal side affects. Some fatigue and upset stomach but It's nothing compared to Interferon.
Mina- On the Interferon I was undetectable at 6 weeks,and at 6 mo. after treatment. At one year after it was back :-(
Lynn- I hope this is your savior!!! Good luck :-)
