Another Relapse

Some had questions about Harvoni relapses and I can tell you I did.After clearing a year ago on sovaldi-olysio I relapsed immediately.This time I did 6 months of Harvoni and finished July 3rd.Just got bloodwork back today that was done on August 18.Just 6 weeks after finishing and it says quantitation 455,000. HCV log10  5.658   They will never give me coverage for another treatment,They know I cant be healed and its just throwing money away.I was starting to believe I beat this and now I'm headed straight back to the nose bleeds,the paralyzing cramps in my legs and the unbearable itching.I don't know what to do.Too tired of being defeated by this disease.

Hi Glen I found a trial that they are currently recruiting at the Univ of PA in Philly.  It is GS-9857+SOL/VEL for 12 weeks.  For people who failed prior tx and have compensated cirrhosis.  Clinical Trial Identifier # NCT02378935 which you can find this at www.clinicaltrials.gov.  Or you can contact the Gilead Study Team @ 367-***@****

Hope this helps!

I just got the bloodwork back in the mail right before the start of the labor day weekend.I did have an appointment before that to see my doctor but that is not until the end of September.After reading your information I do wish the ribavirin was added.I am definitely going to say that to DR Santoro when I see him.This is such a mess.I don't know anything about trials and my insurance company is gonna fight me tooth and nail if there is another treatment that I can do being I am already a 2 time relapse.They will say that they are just throwing money away with me.
                                     Thanks Glen
