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.
Just in case some of you will have moved on by March, I should tell you all that my husband will be 6 yrs cleared of the dragon then.

I'm happy to hear about your triumph over the silent killer!
I wish you a long healthy and happy life! The side effects of interferon treatment were just too unbearable for me......but I try to keep my hope alive.
Congrats!
