Gersh, Sorry to hear about the Hep C. Interferon works, but a lot of folks can't tolerate it. Naomi Judd has been taking it for more than a decade and is still pretty feisty. Nupogen really helps the tolerance, but it is not an insurance approved combination, so most doctors won't prescribe it. There should be a vaccine in a year or two, not that that does much for you today. Transplant is the last choice. My mother had a liver and kidney transplant on Halloween, 1995, and she's still going strong. But the transplant doesn't make the Hep C go away, it just makes it go back to square one on destroying your organs. So, we're looking for the vaccine for the long haul cure.

Sorry to hear about the hep c thing. May I suggest you go to a liver specialist and get another test done. I've seen Hep C diagnosis change. Go see a specialist. Back to prayer. What meaning does it have when two families pray for their missing daughters to be found alive and one is found dead. Did one family pray harder than the other? It sounds like the luck of the draw to me. Isn't it an insult to the bereaved family to hear the other family cry out that god has heard their prayers?
