Hi Robswfe

Because of hospitals I live in two places. My house is less than two miles away from you. My husband goes to RBH. I go to hospitals in London on NHS - I was born in London. Yesterday I was in Dorset then London, I travel backwards and forwards.

I am staying in London for a few days because I have one hospital visit today and two next Wednesday. You remember my story,

I am a week into Harvoni. My lovely Liver Consultant is Prof NH. My husband is not with me because of what I wrote previously. He is not well at all.

Keep in touch. xx

Hi Robswife'

All i can tell you is that i was very ill in 2013 from Acites,H E,

odeama.Original diagnosis in 2002,so alchohal and drugs played a big part of my life when i was younger.I am 40 now and have been clean and sober since 2013.Kept to all my appointments and done everything i could do to make me well and healthy enough to have this treatment.By the way i'm just a normal guy that has made the wrong choices in life.

Hope this helps somewhat and i hope you and your hubby are ok.

Best of luck to you.
