  • Waiting to start treatment, found video very helpful.

    cheers guys

  • anyone who is interested in learning more about living with hep c may also find the book "Living With Hepatitis C for Dummies" useful. it explains how hep C affects the body and gives advice on today's treatment options-from drugs (and their side effects) to transplants and alternative therapies-as well as tips on dealing with the emotional and financial burdens the disease brings with it.

  • Thanks Jake and Jodie being 12 weeks into the treatment it's getting rough but your 100% right not do this treatment alone... I'm lucky to have a beautiful wife and I have started some counceling because of the issues arising from the treatment... I've found work hard and only worked 3 day in 11 week which work are not to happy about and im fighting to save it... I'm having bad side effects so far worse than I thought I would have but I am hoping the end goal is worth it... Thanks again

  • Hi.

    Jake you mentioned that you did not clear yet there were some benefits from treatment for you... can you expand on that? Isn't there the possibility of long-term damage and other health problems from doing the interferon treatment?

    I've been avoiding mainstream treatment for 5 years now, just having a difficult time committing to it. I don't want to feel worse than I already do.

    Thanks for the video and any words you can share.

    peace,

    Mark

  • Jake & Jodie---greetings from La La Land (Los Angeles)...I'm about 6.75 months through a 72 week course of treatment and it is haaaarrrrrddd. I 2nd everything you say, esp. the need for support---simply having a few close friends to talk to has been crucial to me--esp. when I need someone to remind me that the dark times are as a result of the interferon, Neupogen (ugh!), riba, etc. and that they will pass and I will feel human again...thanks for all your good work;)
