That is so sad. About the Hep-C, I mean. Perhaps about the money too, but $150K will buy a pretty decent house and vehicle, so things could be much worse.
Tell your friend that the good news is that she can, if not eliminate Hep-C, bring it totally under control and never really have to worry about it again.
I posted how to do that in the Hep-C forum. It absolutely will work.
