I'm Randi and I have Hep. C, Cirrhosis, I'm on the Liver Transplant List at University of Colorado. At time of diagnosis in 1993 I was 4th stage Cirrhosis I was told I was too sick for treatment until 1998 when I discovered the internet and combo had just been approved. I told my Dr. that I needed to be proactive and insisted on trying something. Spent 12 weeks on mono Interferon and 49 weeks on Interferon Ribavarin, completed treatment in Jan. 2000 and have been negative since. My present condition is stable on the Transplant listat University of CO.
My education, information support has come from my strong faith, my family, the internet, friends, books, and personal medical experiences since 1993.
There are many facets to this disease but the worst ones are fear, misinformation, depression and lack of support. I believe they will soon find a cure for Hep C but in the meantime we have to learn how to survive and take care of ourselves. The info on this site has been gathered from various sources provided to help empower you to make your own choices with your Liver Dr. This is not a replacement for medical services.
