I was diagnosed with cirrhosis in Jan 2008 F4 liver biopsy. Also had a fibroscan Oct 2014 score was 27.

I was treated Nov 2014 to May 2015 Harvoni 24 weeks Ribavirin 15 weeks. I treated Mar 2014 to June 2014 with Sovaldi/Olysio for 12 weeks but relapsed 12 weeks post. I treated 3 times with interferon based treatment but that was prior to being diagnosed with cirrhosis.

Is there something you would like to know about treatment with cirrhosis?

There are a number of us here who had progressed to cirrhosis before we treated with these new drugs

I was diagnosed with cirrhosis last year. I had a fibrosure test that was F3 and an A3 severity score. F3 is bridging fibrosis with many connecting fibre. F4 is considered cirrhosis but my CT scan and Ultra sound show a nodule indicative of cirrhosis... I hope this helps in some way. Best of wishes for you.
