Welcome. My wife is my biggest supporter, since I was able to go on here myself. But if he does not want to go on here, you are welcome and encouraged to represent him here. We have a ton of experience to draw on. Please stay in touch.

Alan

Hi welcome,read as much as you can here on how to combat side effects. Hope for the best but be prepared or the worst. Also the chances of contacting the virus from your hubby are very slim. Keep smiling. Brian

Hi,

 

My husband was also recently diagnosed with Hep C, but I don't have it as well.  We have his first doctor's visit today.  He is Genotype 2.
