Sofosbuvir Approval Date

I found this this morning. I have no idea if this is accurate or not but thought I would pass it along. It says the decision date for Sofosbuvir will be December 6 of this year. This was included in a list of other drugs pending approval in 2013

SHE SAID  SOFOSBUVIR 90% CURE RATE-THATS THE ONE I'LL BE ON
SIMEPREVIR-95% CURE RATE
SHE SAID my FIBROMALGIA AND MY SEVERE ANXIETY WAS MOST LIKELY  due to the HEPC in her opinion ,of course..
i am excited cause she was so excited,

I ASKED HER IF SHE THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN THIS FROM BLOOD TRANSFUSION when i was 9 or from my ex-husband that i divorced when i was 21,he was a complete drug addict and i did step on a needle one night but i did snort coke 20 some years ago but i was only a kid.she said this was a very tricky disease and get past HOW you got it and move on to get rid of it.i really like this doc she's like a ray of sunshine when she enters the room.PLUS I have very high  iron levels and she really did think i had autoimmune hepititis but by the biopsy i did not

Yes, I just recently finished my treatment, and unfortunately failed treatment,with triple therapy. Geno 1, diagnosed with chirrosis, pre treatment. so I am candidate for next round. I already went through two treatments. I dond know how I catched it. Never used drugs, but had operations on teeth , several times, also had blood transfusion once. Probably that was the case.
Anyway, thanks for the information, and give us breakthroughers, a rays of hope!
