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.
but a loving reminder, please be careful about comparison's to each other's tx and remember we are all different with each tx and all the things that make us who we are.
and for example, the other medicines i take , for umpteen other diagnosis' i have, depression, rheumatoid arthritis, and a crazy handful more i don't want to list , as it is depressing. ha.
i know it is tempting and we all crave reassurance , but don't compare one to another.......apples & oranges....
peace
2nd: I would get online with my tests so you can read them yourself or get copies from the doctor's office.
It is so good to read those reports yourself....Really, as when I hang up the phone, my mind can't remember half the stuff they said.
Do yourself a favor and it will feel good!! I know you are both very fine. They is just a very small RARE type of Hep C that is harder to treat than others.
But MAK is finding her treatment, and I am so very happy for her!!
Thank God they finally gave us some real research!!
