I have also have hcv. in 1989 when the virus was first discovered to exist, i tested positive. i believe i've had it since 1980 from an operation i had. I can't afford the $1,000 a month for the peg-interferon. now, since i've lost my job and health insurance, i can't even afford to see a gastroenterologist and the test that go with that. unless they come up with a better system, a lot of us are doomed to a slow painful death. i will keep up with this page. if i find anything in my travels, i will get back to you. good luck.
