Hello,
I have written before about my 21 year old son.
He is incarcerated for another 4 to six months for drug related charges. He has been addicted to crack cocaine since he was 16.
He also abuses alcohol or any other drugs he can get his hands on.
While in jail they have been testing his blood on a regular basis. Thank God he passed the aids test and does not have HIV. He does however have Hep C and they are sending him for an ultra-sound and liver biopsy. Anyone familiar with this? I am really worried as liver damage is dangerous isn't it? Just wondered if others have dealt with this situation. Because he is over 18 and in jail they don't tell me anything and don't have to so I am in the dark. At least my son is telling me some things.
I am worried as I don't know what this means to his health, can he get treatment for this? Is it curable. I'm really scared for him and have been worried for years that he was damaging his health (also worried that he would overdose) I'd appreciate any comments.
thanks,
Katebc
