I think I totally screwed up and I have already told to many people. I don't think I realized what I was up against. Not having any experience at this and just trying to be honest with people I inadvertently said things to people thinking that they are my friends only to find out I was alienated after I told them. That totally *****. I guess you can really find out who your friends are when you tell then you have Hep C. I think I'm learning the hard way, which is very typical for me.
By the way Karaoke is FUN... It's funny sometimes to watch the drunks people get to the stage to sing... can be really funny to watch..LOL

I just told my immediate family of my HCV. If anyone asked why I didn't have my usual pep was due to the chemo drugs I was taking, and leave it at that. If I was pressed I said that it was a blood disorder and I had to take chemo drugs. I wouldn't got into it any more than that. Let them think what they wanted. At that time I really didn't care, of course this was during TX (I'm a Non-responder, never had a 2 log drop in 12 wks.). If people tried to push me I would completely change the subject, and would not let the conversation go back to my "disease".
You have to make your own choice of who to tell..
Good Luck

If you want to keep a secret.....DO NOT TELL NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON ON THE PLANET....all it takes is one....and it may even be your own mother and a spouse....the only way to be sure no one knows is to tell NO ONE...and i mean no-one
I would not tell anyone except your spouse. Society still has not been educated on this disease and if you tell you will find yourself losing friends, family, jobs and even doctors / dentists !!! good luck
I know my around the machine...."welcome to the machine"....Pink Floyd...love that song
