Hi Scott,

I don't have much to add accept to welcome you. After your previous two attempts you must be apprehensive which would be understandable, but that will be trumped by your determination, health, and attitude.wink

Drink lots of water. Yum yum biggrin.

All the best to you on your journey and keep us in the loop on your progress!

Hi Scott,

Glad you found our forum  and will discover many good ears with knowledgeable advice.

The third time will definitely be the charm and the tx will be much easier to tolerate than the old interferon days.

You'll find many members with prior tx experience who are now in the Harvoni realm to share your experience.

Good luck and glad you're onboard!

Welcome, Scott.

It'll be third time lucky for you. I presume you'll be on Harvoni for 24 weeks, not 26. After your Interferon experiences, this will be a breeze. Good luck. Cheers.

Hi OOT B :)   You've found a great forum with absolutely wonderful folks.  Most here have a real understanding of the issues and problems that accompany this virus.  I'm on my fourth and hopefully last tx.  Many that post here have already reached SVR and continue to support us wannabe's :)   Keep us posted on how you're doing.  Mallani our resident expert always has pertinent and timely info.  You may wish to search some of his posts/threads.   You won't find a better more caring and compassionate group of people.  Be well sir and good luck in your tx.

Hey Scott,

Welcome to the forum! It is a great place if I say so myself! We have many excellent, compassionate and knowledgeable members here. They will all bend over backwards to assist you. If you have any questions, we've got hundreds of references. Be sure to use the search function up top or ask directions, we're here to help.

The new protocols are nothing like the old. You should be much more comfortable. Do you know what you're doing and treatment duration? Fill us in and if you want to add info to your signature, you'll find that on your profile page. It helps when replying to posts and let's others follow your progress.

I'm glad you're here. If I can help, just let me know! Good luck...

Tig

Looking forward to learning and sharing here.

Take Care,
