Hello David, welcome from me too!

I`m glad you found us, you`re with wonderful group of friendly and helpful people here, and we`re looking forward to getting to know more about you. 

From your bio I see that you have Gen 3, and you should do very well on this treatment.  I was the same genotype and responded very quickly to Peg interferon + riba when I did my Tx (treatment) a few years ago, and you have the added advantage of sofosbuvir, which makes this a very effective combination! 

Peg/riba based treatments are still commonly used in the UK for certain categories of patients, and there are many of us here with who will be able to help you with advice on dealing with any side effects you`re experiencing.

Let us know how it`s going for you so far, 12 weeks is very doable!  Good luck!   smile

Hi David.

 Welcome from me as well. You'll find plenty of support here and information to help you make the best of treatment and keep it as smooth as possible. It sounds like you are tolerating treatment well thus far so you've likely already figured out that drinking 3-4 liters of water daily helps a lot in keeping side effects to a minimum. We are glad you found this place and hope you'll stick around and keep us posted on your progress. Good luck with your treatment and we'll look forward to celebrating your successful victory over HCV. smile

Hi David,

You snuck in after we were in bed this morning and I missed your first post! Welcome to the forum, you're among a lot of helpful people. I see you're in the UK, we have several members from the UK that should be along to say hello and can offer some insight into the NHS. There will be people from all over to welcome you, count on it!

Not too many people are on the Interferon protocols any longer, but in combination with Sovaldi and Riba, it is an effective one. We'll be able to provide you with advice and support as necessary, just ask. We've got a lot of resources on the forum, be sure to review the homepage index and utilize the search function at the top center of each page. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Please feel free to add some of your history to your signature line. It helps when replying to have your genotype, lab results, fibrosis stage readily available. You can see that info at the bottom of my post as an example. There is a link to instructions in my signature as well. I'm glad you're here and look forward to following your progress!
