Just started Harvoni
« on: March 09, 2015, 05:01:53 pm »
Just started Harvoni 3 days ago. Hep C 1b probably contracted in 1971. Will be on the 12 week tx with labs at the end of tx.

Ive been waiting for years for a more easy medication than what was previously used the interferon and 2 or 3 drug treatments.

Ive spent a lot of time reading posts on this forum and want to thank everyone for sharing their info.
