Untimely Trial

I called my Dad today to see how he was doing. He had a physically recently and they noticed that his liver enzymes were off the chart. They did some more blood tests and it turns out he has Hepatitis C.

I don’t really know anything about the disease, other than it is the leading cause for Liver Cancer and Liver Transplant. I know that if caught early on it is pretty treatable with a 90% clearance rate. I don’t know how far along my Dad is, or what sort of treatment he will seek. Sometimes treatment isn’t even an option.
I am at a loss. I don’t know what to think. It is out of my hands and until more is found out I can only wait. It seems like every where I turn there is one more jab to my stomach.
