Having Hope...

Hello, I am new to this site, what a nice place for support and information.  My name is Hayley, I am 25 years old, from NY. I lost my father at the age of 54 to Hepatitis C on January 29,2010, two years after his liver transplant. I feel for anyone or any family struggling with the disease, especially those with the Genotypes that are least resistant to treatment, as was my father's case. I really encourage people to read about my family's experience with this disease. It is nice to reach out to people affected by this disease. It seems hopeful with new treatments becoming available that more people can fight this disease. I sure hope and pray this is the case. Please see my blog at http://*************.********.***/, please feel free to share your stories with me and other. RIP to my strong father, Richard. Missed everyday.

Hayley

so very sorry to hear about your father, my friend billy passed at 54 also from kidney/liver failure from hep-c.... the new drugs are saving LOTS of lives, so it is sad it was not in time for my friend or your father...
