"The help I have had has made a massive difference"

The van and all the workers have been really helpful.

I knew I had Hepatitis C many years ago but didn't want to have the treatment as there were some really nasty stories about it going around.

I had a test done by my worker a few months back and was referred to be seen on a van for treatment. I didn't know what to expect but the help I have had has made a massive difference. 

I live a fair way out and wasn't able to get to Havant so was picked up and brought to my first appointment on the van. From then, the van has come out to me and I was given my last lot of Hep C tablets recently. 

Since starting the medication, I have felt different and I believe that it is working. I can't wait to have my blood test to see if it has worked.

Thank you for all your support and for making a difference to my life.
