Not only have I been dealing with rheumatoid and hepatitis-c for many years but I now have a life threatening disease which is liver cancer. Due to the complications of my illness I cannot work or drive. Let’s face it family and friends tend to avoid you when you cannot be normal, I have joined this group for companionship.
