Thank you for your honesty. I will try to do better.

I have noticed that at times in the support group that I attend. Last time, the moderator wasn't there, and someone, who is somewhat similar to your situation, explained that she had chosen to not do treatment, and this other girl in the group was all over her like it was mandatory. I asked the md last weekend why there wasn't more discussion re: that, and also that there were lots of people who were genuinely not sick enough. He did explain to me that because of the misinformation in the medical community that tells people, it isn't bad, there aren't any treatments, just keep an eye on your alt/ast, that people get freaked and can minimize it, i.e., deny the seriousness of the situation, and don't get a biopsy until they are at cirrosis and that the particular program they were doing was to inform people of choices and there was alot of talk about ways to keep your liver healthy w/o treatment and, yes less, about people with end stage liver disease, but that was deliberate also because once someone hits that place, their particular situation is so individualized that it would almost be unsafe to throw out what people do/should do/should not do. What I'm trying to say is that your situation is scary to me, for you, because you are my friend and frankly I'm not losing another one (try it Mike and I'll kill you myself), but because you are my future and it is one that sometimes is so scary for me to look at.

So, how are you? Tell all....

Very well put!! See Mike- We need you!! :)
