I'm very fortunate that I've had Hep C for about 16 years. Sixteen years ago that was [presented to me] as a death sentence. I think it really worked on my self-esteem. Even though I may have looked confident on the outside, I think it really was a dark cloud that lingered over me.
I don't have any liver damage and I don't have any side effects. I'm living my life the way I want to, but it could have eventually have caused me some problems and so it was a real blessing that I was able to get the medicine. I'm halfway there.
