Today I tested positive for Hepatitis C antibodies.

That doesn't necessarily mean that I have the disease, but I have definitely been exposed to it.

I am currently trying to get an appointment for a more detailed blood test. Please pray for it to turn out negative!

Oh yes, I will be sending you all my prayers dear, dear Yu-chei, and if you don't mind I will ask my Tellurian family to do the same?

Oh no! How could this happen?

You will certinly be in my prayers, dearest Meimei. I hope that the retest shows differing results.

I love you, dearest Shrimp!

Oh, dear. Yes, I will definitely keep you in my prayers. I hope your antibodies have expelled the disease from you already!

Miss Farshore: Thank you so much! Please do!

Jiejie: It is a mystery as to how I could have gotten it. The usual method is the sharing of needles for illegal drugs and other bongo activities I do not engage in. When I was born I needed blood transfusions; the only thing my doctor can figure is that I may have gotten infected blood back then. For another medication I have to get monthly blood tests, so if I do have it, I know that my liver is still functioning normally at this point.

Kohime-chei: Thank you! Unfortunately, once someone is actually infected with any form of Hepatitis, it cannot be cured. I think that exposure to it and infection with it are two different things.

I still have not managed to find a doctor who has time to give me a more detailed blood test, but we are looking.

My mother, in researching, has found some hopeful-sounding information. She read an article that said that Hepatitis C can be treated until it is no longer detected in the blood. If it remains this way for six months, you are considered "cured".

I suspect that it is not quite the same as being cured of a regular disease like chicken pox (more like remission), but this is encouraging news.

This is encouraging news! You will continue to be in my prayers, as always, dearest Meimei.

With love,
Jiejie

Oh Miss Yu, I'll pray for the restoration of health and your continued strength. I do hope someone is able to tell you something soon! Please keep us posted.

I will be praying for you every night, Miss Yu. Please remember that we love you and will be there for you, no matter what.

Oh Miss Yu, I've missed so much. You're in my prayers, my dear.
