My freind too Solvaldi. It almost killed her.
Linda, what happened if I may ask? What was her combo with Sovaldi? What complications did she have?
My husband just finished sovaldi and olysio combo pills for twelve weeks only. After only four weeks his blood work showed undetectable and at end of treatment if still shows undetectable! Has to flow up in 12 weeks and if still undetectable will be considered cured!!! He is 68 years old and went through treatment for lymphoma only about a year and a half ago also, but is doing great! Saw Dr. Paul Martin at university of Miami. Very expensive but they helped us with all cost!!! No side effects except dry skin and some rash from Sun . So there is hope guys!!!
It probably wasn’t the Solvaldi, but the interferon which is deadly. The interferon almost killed me too.
