    • About Me

      I was dx with Hep C in Feb 08. I HAD genotype 2 and did 6 months tx. I have had two follow up vrl tests done and BOTH were still ZERO! PTL Tx was tough, but so worth it. I never would of made it through without my dear DS freinds. This place was a soft place to land. Even with phenominal support from my hubby, family and friends, this place was what I needed. Everyone here gets what you are going through. Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns...I want to be an encouragement, or give help in any way I can. It helps to talk with people who know what you are going through.
