The Harvoni [ledipasvir 90 mg/sofosbuvir 400 mg] from Gilead Science has a cure rate in the upper 90 s
About 3 years ago I was at the VA for my annual physical. The doctor asked me to check the boxes of what I wanted my blood work to be tested for. So I checked everything just so I could leave the office. A couple of days later the doctor calls to inform me I have Hep C
I was floored and couldn't believe it. Come to find out people who where born between 1945 - 1955 and Vietnam vets have a higher risk of carrying the disease than the average population. And you can have Hep C for decades and never know it. But once symptoms appear, things are very serious, and the out come isn't too good.
Anyway, I started the new drug treatment which has a 90% or better cure rate. One pill every day for 12 weeks (before this new drug the cure rate was dismal and took a year with severe side effects)
The pills costs $1,000 each and I had to take them for 12 weeks (84 days in a row) Thank God for the VA because I didn't have 84 grand in the bank to cover the cost.
Anyway, after the 3 month regimen of taking the pills. I was tested and no sign of the disease was found in my blood work. And no liver damage.
I was very fortunate for the Hep C to have stayed dormant for possibly decades. And that a new cure had been released exactly I need it. .......
