HI I recently have been going to the doctor at the cheap clinic because I do not have insurance. I have had hep c since I was 15 years old and I am now 34. The doctor just informed me that I need Interferon treatment for my hep c. At this point, I am not too sick but he said it could change at any moment due to the fact that I have had it for almost 20 years. I have no insurance, we just found out we owe the IRS 500.00 and we have so many bills. My husband has insuarance through his work, but in April the bosses are cancelling it due to the economy, so there is no time for me to get on his insurance and get the years worth of Interferon treatment. If anyone can help or has any ideas on how to get help, I live in Lebanon, Oregon, if anyone knows of a place here that does treatment like that for next to nothing or if anyone can help, that would be great. The doctor told me that one day I could just wake up and be so ill and then it would be too late for treatment. Because I am an ex-addict, I would be put on the very bottom of a transplant list and passed over for someone who wasn't an addict in the past. They don't want to give a new liver to someone who might go out and ruin the new one. I have someone on my hubby's side who has had a liver transplant and have known others so I have heard aweful things that kind of scare me. I have a beautiful 2 1/2 year old son and I really want to watch im grow up.
God Bless,
Lydia
