Thanks For Moser's Hep C Story
RECEIVED Fri., Dec. 1, 2006
Dear Editor,
As a longtime sufferer of chronic hepatitis C and enduring a year of failed chemotherapy in hopes of eradicating this under-reported epidemic in the U.S. media, I congratulate Margaret Moser for her graphic and well-researched article on this killer disease [“C-Sick,” Music, Nov. 24], and I thank the Chronicle for making it the cover story.
Ms. Moser's graphic depiction of a person's agonizing death from hepatitis C was right on the money, and reading the accounts of survivors' stories has given me new hope that new treatments and possibly even a cure could be discovered within my remaining lifetime.
If Ms. Moser's article gets just one person concerned enough to be tested for this often fatal disease and to seek treatment if needed, it was well worth it.
Thank you for understanding the importance to make this your cover story.
