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.
My blood counts are also getting lower and lower. Last week being the lowest so far, RBC 2.87, WBC 1.7, HGB 8.4, Platelets 59. My coordinator (had transplant 2 years ago) says I'm anemic but not anemic enough for a prescription. So yours must be lower than mine.
I'm not on treatments for the Hep C, but will probably start triple tx in Jan. I've never taken treatments before. I am A1-TT, the hardest to treat.
I will be praying for you. We just have to take one day at a time. Nobody's guaranteed tomorrow anyway. Hang in there, and stay in touch. We all care. Love to you. Marilyn
