Alcohol NO - Virus YES

Ron is always quick to inform people - he doesn't drink - hasn't drank in years (17+ yrs) - since his diagnosis. People assume he must be an alcoholic because he has cirrhosis of the liver....NO, the scarred liver tissue was caused by the Hep C.

I keep telling Ron - he doesn't have to explain anything to people.........three weeks ago Ron had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. He told the paramedic he had Hep C and the paramedic asked, "Are you still a drinker?"
