Living with Hepatitis C: A Survivor's Guide

Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

"This comprehensive guide to hepatitis C (there are types A through G) informs us that almost four million Americans (including country singer Naomi Judd) carry this little-known disease, that its prevalence exceeds HIV and Parkinson's disease, that the Centers for Disease Control see it as a virulent, silent disease with no known cure, and that it is usually fatal. Everson, a leading hepatologist and expert in the treatment of this illness, and Weinberg, a writer who contracted hepatitis C from a blood transfusion and who is Everson's patient, explain the disease in everyday language and take the patient step-by-step through the entire process of diagnosis and ongoing care, including liver transplants and financial ramifications, coping, and research trends. An extremely useful title on a subject that deserves greater coverage; recommended for all consumer health collections." -Library Journal
