Josh

If you haven't,  see my post on the Support Path.

But try not to treat it like they (Gilead) is annoying or bothersome with all the  "blahs blahs" they want.

You have the opportunity to get $100k of drugs that can cure you - for free!! 

You jump thru whatever hoops necessary and do it with a smile on your face and when done you say thank you! 

It's not that much and if you do it right the first time it will really move things along.

I sent gilead my info on 1/7. I will have Harvoni on 1/22 = 2 weeks later!! 

If you need help just ask

Sorry to hear that, Josh, but keep fighting!

Best of luck with the Support Path, and in the meantime continue to look after yourself well and hold on to your positive attitude.

Keep us updated!

Hi Josh,

Many of us know the horrible feeling of being turned down for treatment by our loser insurance companies. Don't give up, it will happen. Just keep fighting and try not too lose hope.

Definitely keep pursuing the Support Path option, along with all others. Treatment is going to happen, it's just a matter of time.

Good Luck!

-Rob

Having treated in Portland, you could be "coughing and peeing blood" and still Oregon gastros wouldn't lift a finger to help you. They are a cold-hearted bunch and you have to fight to get what you need with regard to treatment. My clinic kept telling me Support Path would not pay even when I told them I had talked with Support Path and they told me they would. Their mantra is "your insurance will not pay". I've yet to figure out their hidden agenda.

Hang in there and good luck to you.
