Pamela Anderson says she has been completely cured of Hepatitis C.
The former Baywatch
star, who claimed she contracted the blood-borne virus after sharing a
tattoo needle with her ex-husband Tommy Lee, believes she is free of the
disease, which can result in damage to the liver, thanks to a new
course of drugs.
She wrote on Instagram: "I am CURED!!! - I just
found out #nomorehepc #thankyou #blessing #family #prayer #live I pray
anyone living with Hep C can qualify or afford treatment. It will be
more available soon.
I know treatment is hard to get still...#dontlosehope #itworkedforme
#thereisacure #love #happy #americanliverfoundation #celebration
#Idontknowwhattodo #iwanttohelp (sic)."
Speaking about the
treatment previously, she said: "I am taking medicine right now, they
have come up with a cure. I am almost half way through and by November
1, I should be cured - a 98 per cent chance."
The 48-year-old
blonde bombshell, who has battled with the illness for 16 years,
announced that she had decided to try the anti-viral drug after seeing
Hepatitis C - also known as Hep C - as a "death sentence" for almost two
decades.
She said: "I'm very fortunate that I've had Hep C for about 16 years.
16
years ago that was [presented to me] as a death sentence. I think it
really worked on my self-esteem. Even though I may have looked confident
on the outside, I think it really was a dark cloud that lingered over
me."
