The First Year--Hepatitis C

An Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed

By Bruce, Cara & Montanarelli, Lisa

Publishers Summary:
Hepatitis C is a disease shrouded in silence and uncertainty, as Cara Bruce and Lisa Montanarelli found when they sought information, advice, and support after their diagnoses. They decided to be proactive in their quest to understand and manage their illness—by reading medical and scientific books and journals, talking with doctors, and networking with other people who have hepatitis C. They now share their experience and knowledge with everyone who has been newly diagnosed. As "patient-experts" on hep C, Bruce and Montanarelli walk you step-by-step through everything you need to do and learn each day of your first week after diagnosis, each subsequent week of the first month, and the following eleven months of the crucial first year. In clear, concise, accessible language, Bruce and Montanarelli cover a wide range of practical, medical, and lifestyle issues, beginning with coming to terms with the diagnosis and then moving on to subjects including: § Strategies for accomplishing necessary lifestyle changes § Guidelines and tips for modifying your diet § Stress management and exercise § Discussing your condition with family, friends, and co-workers § Current medical research and medications § Handling sexual and social relationships § Effective alternative therapies § Traveling and socializing § Support group resources By providing reliable, useful, empathetic, and up-to-date information you need to know when you most need to know it, The First Year™—Hepatitis C is a sensitive and invaluable guide for everyone struggling to rebuild their lives after a hepatitis C diagnosis.
