    • About Me

      i've had hep c for almost 30 years. found out 10 years ago what it was and chose not to treat or pay any attention to it. at 43, i had my 4th child. she was born 7 weeks early because my liver freaked out! i had a second liver biopsy and found i had progressed to stage 2 from stage 0 seven years earlier. my baby is now 2 1/2, weaned and i started treatment in early july. i'm ok so far but feeling like i need support and people to talk to.
