Ex husband has hep c

I just found out my ex husband contracted hep c.  Should I be worried that our 11 year old daughter could be at risk?

It just goes to show you that you never know where the "better treatments" we're waiting for just might come from.  Here's a short blurb from last Friday:

"Vanderbilt University researchers found that secretions from the skin of some Australian frogs were effective in the test tube at killing HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. They hope their findings will lead to the creation of a topical ointment containing synthetic secretions that will help cut the spread of the deadly worldwide pandemic."

Finally talked to NP at Docs.  Gonna do some blood today.  Thinking pain might be gall bladder as some suggested.  Will get results tomorrow I believe.  

Also, mentioned my concern about reduced dosage.  Well, come in and talk to Dr.  Next opening is Nov. 29. ???  Well, it will be up to Doc if he wants to double book himself, will leave him a note.  I am going to look for a second opinion now.  Three weeks on reduced dosage is ticking me off.  Shucks!  Not quit enough Riba to form a rage today, tho I would like to right now!  lol  

Thanks again to all.

The pain you are feeling could also be your gall balder.  It's nothing to mess with, call your doc ASAP.
