Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Rob just got his 50 wk tx results. Wonderful news, he's undec (under 15) again (this is twice). But because he is responding slowly (drinking booze, not drinking water, not eating well), course the dr doesn't know this (or does she??) He is suppose to continue tx for 6 more months or for as long as he can stand it. He has been off work since April and would like to go back to work (would be good for me) in Sept. Anyone else had tx this long?? Thanks
I'm sorry he continues to drink alcohol while on treatment -- he's not giving himself much of a fighting chance.
No matter, its a miracle he's undie, all you can do is support him thru this. I hope some longterm tx's respond to your question.
