Breaking the news Hepatitis C (Hep C) Blog-Post

Diary Post

Yes, I've got Hepatitis C!

I'm still amazed at how many people still don't know that I've got Hep C.

I shouldn't be because I realise that your not mind readers!

It's just because it's been such a big part of my life for so long that that I assume everybody knows about it. Plus, you tend to forget who you've told and who you've tried to keep it from. I never intended to be secretive about it but you come to realise that having that conversation with some people is often awkward to bring up and most of the time their is nothing they can do about it anyway and that's even if they have any understanding of what Hep C is.

Quite often you realise that by telling people it can cause fear or it may have implications as I found out to my detriment with my last job.

However, all too often it's just not something that pops up in conversation and once you have 'said it' your mind starts racing as you wonder if you've done the right thing or would it have been better to keep your gob shut.

I suppose that's why I've started this blog so I can chronicle my progress for anyone who knows me or those that might find themselves in a similar situation.

Progress is what I intend to make and I'm certainly nobodies victim.
Who knows, my diagnosis could be the best thing that ever happened to me because without Hep C, I would surely have brought about my own demise.
take care all and I'll write soon!
