    I think this is an excellent comment as most of us had the same feelings . also the fact that he received the result by post shows atotal lack of understanding by the doctors. the medical proffession can be so callous at times.

    Hi all

    I just wanted to tell you that my young Daughter contracted the Hep C Virus about ten years ago and was about to embark on counselling prior to possibly starting treatment. Unfortunately, and due to totally unrelated reasons, I lost her last year, but as far as the Hep C was concerned, she was doing very well. There were no indications during her monthly blood checks that the virus was active...her LFT's were always within normal limits. (She didn't have monthly blood checks connected to the Hep C, it was for medication levels)

    The thing to do if you have Hep C is to take care of YOU!!! Stop or dramatically reduce alcohol intake :cheers:, eat a well balanced diet and don't engage in further high risk behaviours. You can live for many many years with Hep C...it's not an automatic death sentence and in a minority of cases, the virus has been known to clear itself so all is not lost. I hope you all do OK and just remember to look after yourselves.

    :D

    Well i found out Nov. 06 by letter too and burst into tears, i knew nothing and there wasnt even a leaflet with the letter, i had donated blood and thats why my blood was tested.

    I have recently been to the hospital and found it's all that bad, i'm thinking about trying combination therapy anyone been through this? or on it? the side effects sound a bit hard (flu, tiredness, occasionally hair loss) would like to hear someone feed back on it
