About Me
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.
