Hep c and death

This is not really a question but a comment-my sister was 7 years younger than me and had been treated for Hep C
2 times and was supposedly in remission. Well, a year ago she got pnemonia and was put into a drug induced coma.
She was in ICU for 4 weeks and finally her liver shut down and eventually her heart-I lost her and if anyone has Hep C or is even in remission, Please do not drink or take drugs-she did and it killed her-Good Luck to everyone.
I miss my sister so much and would not want anyone else to go through such an awful experience. She was hiding her drinking but it was ultimately what killed her.

I lost a sister and relate to your grief.  All of us women are sisters in one way or another but a 'blood sister' is so very very special, and your loss will be life long.   Thankyou for sharing;  I'm sure your comments will assist others here.
