Hi, my name is Lynn and up until two weeks ago, I was in a relationship that was growing nicely - then nothing. From the bits and pieces I have received from him, I was able to determine that he started treatment for Hep C about 4 weeks ago.

Hey all, I was ready to start tx in April (so I thought) My GI called and said I had to wait 3 months (june) to start treatment. They had me rushing all week to get lab done and eye exam done.
