Margaret is keeping up a lot of hard work fro others who need this cure-
can you all help by signing the petition- it is free and we are going nationwide with this issue.
We are all so happy for you Hopinghepster and Lowbid! Now we need to use these success stories to convince Gilead Sciences & Bristol-Myers to make the life-saving drug combo of GS-7977 + Daclatasvir available to all of us! This is the only cure out there that does not require interferon or ribavirin! And only side effects reported from people in these trials (in the NO ribavirin arm) were headache, nausea, fatigue during treatment. Think the entire HCV population would treat if we could have these kind of results - 100% genotype 1 cured and >91% genotype 2/3 and little or no side effects! This is the treatment millions have prayed about for so long now. Please help us in our efforts to get Gilead & Bristol back together on this. If they don't then too many will continue to suffer and die when there is a cure. You can help by signing the petition at link below and asking everyone you know to sign it as well. We also encourage each of you to contact your two state senators and congressmen and anyone else you may think of to get this news out to the world. We are forming alliances with other groups (HIV/AIDS, Hemophiliacs, HCV support groups, etc.) but the true work will have to be done by US!

Warmest regards to all,

I'm delighted to write that I am now officially SVR12! Wow! Fabulous news! I am filled with gratitude to all those who made this moment possible. Goodbye Hep C and best wishes to all!
I just wanted to update on my PT 12 test and I am still undetectable.
YAY Margaret!!!
Let's get this going for everyone else who needs help...
Hey! Hope everyone is doing ok tonight- and SVR all the way- if not, we are TRYING to get a petition signed by any and all to re-open the BMS/ 7977 phase lll trial for those of us still waiting and those of us who didn't make it on triple tx.
Margaret Dudley is running that petition, if you go her page, there is much more info. We need to keep this in the forefront of the news.
Y'all chime in and let's get these meds out to all of us!!
life, love, healing,
