Thanks for the help.  There is so many new treatments out there my head is spinning. This will be Tom's fifth attempt at treatment and he wants to be this.  I'll check out the web site too.

Hi tomyboy:

No, the one pill tx is Gilead's,  Sovaldi / Ledipasvir,  and it will be FDA approved October 10th.  That is the one I, and several others here, are awaiting.  

The Abbvie combo should be approved in December of this year.  More to come in 2015 and 2016.

Tom has an appt with his oncolcologist Friday and with his gastro dr next week to begin the process of hopefully stopping the oral chemo and beginning the new treatment in November.  Is the name of the treatment which is set to be approved in Oct ABT-450?  Hope you all are well and thanks for the help.
