Synopsis
For decades, having hepatitis C virus (HCV) was the equivalent of
serving a life sentence—with a dangerous liver disease. All of that
changed with the discovery that the virus could be defeated with
a new treatment. To shed light on this groundbreaking therapy,
Lucinda Porter, a registered nurse, a passionate HCV advocate, and
a hep C patient herself, has written a comprehensive guide for people
who are undergoing or considering this new hep C treatment.
Ms. Porter begins by explaining what hepatitis C is. She then looks
at both the mainstream and the alternative management techniques
currently used to keep the virus in check. From there, she examines
hep C’s new therapy and what you can expect from it. The author
demystifies test results, provides important questions you can ask
your healthcare provider, and offers advice—all with the compassion
of someone who has gone through the process herself.
Well over 3 million North Americans live with hepatitis C. Here, at
last, is all the information they need to make informed decisions
about their future.
Lucinda K. Porter, RN is an active hepatitis C advocate who writes, teaches, and
lectures on the topic. She is recognized as a leader in her field based upon her
professional experience and her firsthand knowledge of living with the disease. Ms.
Porter has been a research nurse at Stanford University Medical Center specializing
in HCV, and her articles and guides have appeared in numerous HCV newsletters
and journals. Today, in addition to being a highly sought-after speaker, she continues
to work with various HCV groups on behalf of patients and their families
