Living with Hepatitis C, Fifth Edition: A Survivor's Guide Paperback – Illustrated, September 29, 2009

Very informative but I would not say that I love it. The author is a renowned writer on this particular subject. Well done, but she needs to write another book with more current research information.

It has been very helpful in trying to understand the different types od hepatitis and what can be done and what is available . At the same time you realy need to work with your Doctor because it also can be confusing . And it does scare you! More people should have a true meaning of Hepatits .It can take your life away . and if you do or are able to get the help you need it still takes your life away for a while . Thanks to the aurthor

This is a great resource for those who have Hepatitis C; It has a wealth of info, and is a must for anyone who has or knows someone with Hep C.Great Book!

This near-classic is in its 5th edition. Living with Hepatitis C is written for the general hepatitis C audience and needs to be updated to include the latest treatments. Only a small percentage of the book discusses hepatitis C treatment. Three chapters address nutritional, emotional and financial self-care for the hepatitis C patient, but none specifically for patients during treatment. This book is a good starter book for those looking for general information, with the caveat that the book is not quite up-to-date.

This book may be of more use to someone just diagnosed, who is currently not experiencing any real complications yet. Be aware that the changes in the treatment options is a dynamic affair, and changes so quickly that anything published over 6 months ago is probably not current. Any publication of this type must be considered as "general" and dated. I would not, personally, recommend this book, or any others like it. It is not that they are not adequate, it is simply because they cannot be current for more than a few months. Just be aware. This is an insidious disease and it manifests itself differently in everyone it touches. One size simply does not fit all.

This book covered a lot of issues for me. Living with desease is hard and with this book I can understand it a lot better.thank you.

very informational and recommend4 newpatients.

A very informative and well-written book--I would say a "must read" for anyone with HCV or anyone giving support to a family member or friend with HCV.
