I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C in 1990 & a liver biopsy was
performed.  Although my enzymes were high for 6 - 9 months, my
biopsy was normal.  Within a year, my enzymes returned to normal
& I thought everything was OK, so for the past few years I have
drank alcohol moderately.  Now, my enzymes are 3 times above
normal, my doctors says there is a large quantity of virus
in my system & is going to begin treatment with Rebetron.
My question is, should I have another biopsy before beginning
treatment?
