Thanks for all your support.  I told Tom that HE MUST got on this site and report his experience with the harvoni and hopefully he will be a helpful "tool and inspiration" for many others who haven't done well with previous treatments.  We go to Mt Sinai on the 12th and can't wait to his liver surgeon the good news.  As we all know, if he beats the hep C, the chance of his liver cancer returning is much lower.

HI Laura!  This is excellent news and I`m so pleased that Tom`s approval for Harvoni came through so quickly! 

You`ve both shown such determination and courage all the way through and I`m really hoping this treatment will be the one to finally clear the virus for good.  24 weeks on Harvoni should do it this time, and I wish Tom all the best of luck!

Thanks as always for keeping us informed on Tom`s behalf... do keep us posted on his progress and we`ll look forward to hearing more good news from you!   smile

Hello Tom & Laura

That is good news, hoping the best for you. At least the protocols are getting easier and this could be day it will work.

Thanks for the update

Hi Laura,

That's great news, give Tom my (our) congratulations! After so many attempts and disappointments, we're going to be positive and expect that this is his time to succeed! He certainly deserves this and we're going to be right here to cheer you both on. Just in case you aren't aware of this Harvoni coupon program, I'm going to include a link to it. It can and will help with the costs of treatment. Check it out and good luck!

Hi all,

Tom went to his doctor here Thursday and the Pharmacy network called him yesterday to say he got the approval.  He called the nurse this morning and will have the doctor fax the script for harvoni on Wednesday.  Hopefully he will start his 24 week treatment this weekend and the sixth time will be a charm. Very excited and hope that this time it works!!!! Hope everyone is well and praying that this may be just what we were waiting for....a cure.

All the best,

Laura
