Hi Group,

I'm not usually political but there are political and financial things happening which can stall some of the new non-interferon drugs from getting to the market.

You can read for yourself within the petition what it's about and then sign. We have to start using our voices and even though I know these drug companies can't be forced to put something on the market, we just need to let people know how we, with hepc, feel about 2 drugs with a possible cure that will be lost forever in the politics and greed.

Thanks for signing.

Hi Sanford

Smile

Good Article!

I know that I've had blood drawn for the ILB28 test. I keep asking for the result and they obviously don't want me to see it. Maybe I'll get it at the end of the study.

I think it's an expensive test to run but they do it all the time in these studies now.

I would ask for it from my doctor, just to see if they would do it. Worth a try.

Thanks and hope you're doing okay.
