Hi R it says page cant be found but thank you anyway.

[JodyLynn]

desrt thanks so much for the info, but i never go to Atlanta way to much crime.

[JodyLynn]

Thank you Bill.

It looks like Locust Grove is about a 40 min. drive away from Atlanta.

I may have a warped sense of driving time, living in West Texas, but 40 min. is how long it takes me to get to the closest store or AA meeting. I'd love to have an HCV support group that close.

[R Glass]

I hope this helps

Check with your local hospital administration (hospital education, patient services?) or your Gastro/Hepatologist

[JodyLynn]

I am in Locust Grove Ga and trust me not one support group near me i can go to.

[desrt]

I got 1,790,000 results just on Yahoo search. What state are you in?

[geterdone]
