Yes Tig, I completely agree with your comments about Alan Franciscus, and his HCV Advocate website is a very reliable and up to date source of news and information about all things relating to Hep C.

I should think this community forum in Fresno will be very interesting and educational, and well worth attending for anyone who is in the area.

Thanks for posting this Jill. If anyone is in the Fresno area, this would be an excellent presentation and opportunity to meet some leaders in our battle. Alan Franciscus is a powerful advocate in the HCV and HBV community and a forum like this is a great way to educate and advocate. Anyone not knowing about Alan should take a look at the HCV Advocate website. He offers an excellent email newsletter that you can sign up for there.
