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.

Thanx for the link. I am happy to help anyone who doesn't understand their lab reports. I not only treated for HCV but I recently laid an x-husband to rest who died of cirrhosis and untreated HCV. I'm glad you are here McKenzie. Maybe we can chat and compare notes sometimes. LOL

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips.
