    • About Me

      Hep c positive. happily partnered.I am soooo tired of all of these new diagnosis'. I am now on extended pagasis and ribavirin treatment for hep c as I am a slow responder.Insteand of the 48 weeks, I must do 72 weeks of tx.There seems to be so much wrong with me....wonder if This all pertains to hep c....things that make you say.........hmmmm.........s@%T!........ Lost my dad to murder in 1990, lost my mother to heart and stroke in 1998, and lost my big brother and friend Pete to pancreatic cancer in 2000. minutes turn into hours to days, weeks, months and then years. I can't wait to see them all again. I gave up a baby at 17, at that time i didn't think anything could be worse. I've always felt that a part of me is missing. She will be 27 y/o the 28th of feb. Each loss is different.Baby steps always.A million questions and no answers.I pray and trust God that her life is good, and that maybe some day and someway i will see her again in this life.
