About Me
rn with hep c. in denial. mixed messages from medical doctors regarding everything. ok, now I am facing the dragon; actually a couple of dragons, because I am reassessing my entire life at this point...including my relationship with my sons and family. For the first time, I have to think about taking steps to provide for me in case I find myself unable to continue working in the near future. My doctor is never going to win a personality contest, but I guess he knows what he is doing; so I am going to see how it goes. Good luck to all of us. Let's enjoy each and every moment we can. ....they are all gifts, the rest of our moments in life.

Hi Violet, I too am an RN with Hep C. I work in a hospital and my director knows and has been very supportive. I am going through treatment and well it has not been easy. We're here to support you. What's your genotype? Have you seen a GI? Let me know how you are doing.

Close Hepatitis C
well, i am a registered nurse who found out from donating blood ten years ago that i have hep c. i was never sick. then two years ago, i thought i had mono. ....now am sick again...have been in denial all this time because i have to work...have a family to support....don't have good insurance so have never gone on the treatment plus the 30 percent success rate didn't convince me. i don't have friends. maybe one or two; but i don't tell them about this. i am ashamed to be shunned.
