"is 12 weeks enough?"
I hope so. I'm half way through 12 weeks of SOF+DAC without Riba. Geno 3, F3 Fibro test.
Failed interferon + Riba 8 years ago. I expressed concerns with my doc since I previously failed but he seemed confident that Riba or extension would not be needed.
Now I'm undetectable at 4 weeks.
Fingers crossed...
