Have HVC, Hepatitis C. Depressed, Stressed, Was Suicidal. Will I Be Treated Well?

Hi, my name is Hillrie I just found out I have HVC. When my daughter passed away 7/25/10 on a Sunday morning, I lost it. I would continue to Blackout most of the 1st year, I felt like a zombie. The second year 2011 I started coming out of my shell little by little, I knew I had my eldest daughter, a grandson she gave me, a son who is now 16yrs.old & a my youngest daughter, who will be 12 Aril,20,2013. By 2012 I started to realize how much my family needed me. Even my grown daughter and sickly mother, so in 2012 I broke that shell & fought my way bake. I lived a very self destructive life style after the death of my daughter. I felt I should have been the one to go, not my beautiful daughter. I wont lie I even tried twice back in 2010, now I live for my family who I love so very much! I wake every day & remind myself God needed Jessica, my daughter for something so important that she had to return home & we will all be together again when the time is right. Now I am in the fight for my life & need any & all information on Hepatitis C. I NO THIS DESEASE IN MY PONISHMENT, for the way I lived my life after my daughter. It is now 2013 my life is all about taking care of my sickly mother & all my children & my grandson for as long as God allows me to. I would appreciate any new info sent to my e-mail address also treatment new or close to being FDA approved. Thank you for reading my e-mail that I sent to you this is my e-mail ( YYYY@YYYY )

You should talk to a hepatologist to see if you are a candidate for treatment with the current available drugs against hepatitis C. There are many factors to be taken into account before starting on therapy. The current therapy has a lot of side effects, and these are mainly to the Interferon injection that needs to be given with the rest of pills, however soon there will be a new therapy approved which will be only with pills, no injections, less side effects. You can see the progress of all the medications undergoing clinical trials at www.hcvdrugs.com
Hope that helped.
