I was diagnosed in Oct. 08 w/ Hep C & my 16 year old (at that time) daughter was diagnosed shortly after. We are both geno type 1a. I am in stage 2 of Liver disease , she is in the end of stage 3! We both went through all the preliminary test, including the liver biopsy, together. We originally planned on doing tx together, however after a lot of research & gaining knowledge on the sides of tx we decided against that. My daughter started tx the beginning of March 2009. I am waiting to start until she is done as I need to be able to take care of her. However after 15 weeks of tx, my daughter was a nonresponder and taken off of tx. Now we are waiting for other options to become available. Throughout her tx I tried to journal faithfully so that others may learn from our experience. Please feel free to read my journals, they are open to everyone. We have a long path ahead of us in battling this horrific disease and this DS sight is a source of much needed info and support for me. I am happy to share my journey and support with others on their journey as together we stand and fight the odds.

Hi Lesa. Give me a status update on you and your daughter when you have a moment. I think of the two of you OFTEN and I keep you in my prayers.
Lesa!!! I'm so happy to hear from you. I've been thinking of you and wondering how you and R are doing. I'm now 4 weeks post tx and I'm feeling pretty good - life is starting to return. I'll have to check your journal to see if you have an update.
Thanks Lesa, so far it is MUCH better!! Only one shot left! You and your daughter have been thru so much and I wish you both were at treatment's end right along with me! I keep you both in my prayers every day!
Sending you a rainbow and hoping this one truly has something wonderful on the other side
