I'm at work, but my mind is going nuts with all this also my AFP is 7.6 some were I read the range is 0-8.9 but my dr. wants my to have a scan, i do smoke and they say that can bring it up, who really knows

Looks like your AFP is with normal range so that is good.  The other test you stated just shows,,,,,active hep c with a viral load of 3 Million virus which yes,,,,if you are not on full dosage,,,You need to be.  Thats what I don't understand is why didn't your dr put you on full dosage?

I will ask him a lot of qoestions thanks to everyone here and I will tell him to put me on a higher dose. I want to nock this thing out I'm 57 and I think I got this in vietnam around 67-68
