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.

Hello fellow heppers & hepKats, this is such a success story, it should be printed somewhere for the world to see... but here will do for now, you can maybe do like AndyNicole and write a book about your experience as a hepper, doing treatment, and how great us heppers are... very good people....
This is great, I am happy to see who is still here, and continues to support each other through this wonderful room...
Congratulation to all of you... especially those who didn't respond, I know how hard this whole treatment business can be, but thank God there are new treatments coming down the pipeline.... so do not dispeare one day, you will be posting the same as same outcome...
Happy to be back among my Warrior friends....
Love & Respect,
Mckenzie
One day at the time......xo
