Hep C is indeed curable. About half of those who go through a 24-48 week (or longer, 72 weeks in my case) course of "combination therapy" with the two drugs typically used to treat Hep C will clear the virus from their bodies FOREVER--unless they get reinfected...

Your strength will stand tall as the trees. Your strength is for the whole world to see like the starts in the night! You're my all-time favorite singer. I love you. Peace and blessings...

Stay strong Natalie, I'm sure you'll make it through. What a talented family. Show support, here's a video of her perfoming a couple years ago: http://tinyurl.com/6el7ux

My heart goes out to you Natalie. I have followed your music from day one and I remember listing to your Daddy's music with my Daddy. My brother and sister both have HVC, and are taking shots and or pills for it. It is a devastating disease. My prayers are with you as well as them. Keep bringing your beautiful melodic voice to the World. A true Fan!!

FYI- I just wanted to clarify that the treatment for HCV is chemo NOT Radiation! There is a difference. Also so that nobody gets confused please remember that HCV is treatable but NOT curable. To date there is no cure for Hepatitis c and the treatment does not work for everyone. I now have liver cancer which resulted from mine which is not as common but does happen. I was refused a transplant due to being on Methadone for opiate addiction and have been given 6mo.'s to live. Good Luck Natalie. Thanks for coming out publicly with a realistic view of this disease.
