Hi Everyone,
Just thought I'd share this great news, especially for the Oz contingent.
Hopefully it will be ok for NZ as well.

Results of drug trials in NZ and OZ for non Interferon treatment

Main Article:

NZ and OZ study:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21708200?dopt=Abstract

I'm waiting to see my medical team for my 6 month post tx report, my appointment was stuffed up so didn't get to see them, but my good old GP told me that my levels are very good, much better than befrore tx. So maybe another year to wait before new tx available here.

Cheers Greg
