Hepatitis C
I was diagnosed and it found out that I am infected with HCV. I have no health insurance and no income to provide for treatment with Interferon and ribavirin. Is there any way to support me?

I'm self employed and without medical insurance. My nurse set up my tx through Pegassist (Genentech 888-941-3331) no charge for meds but responsible for lab and dr. appts.
If you haven't had your biopsy yet contact the hospital and look into any financial assistance they might have to offer. I was unaware of this before my bx but they put me on a 5 yr. payment plan.
Yes, cost of treatment is expensive - but I feel cost of not doing treatment is too high.
Good Luck -
