Just read that you're stage 1 grade 1. Not much damage yet. Your doctor will probably want you to wait for the new drugs that are coming out in the near future (hopefully). That will increase your chances of clearing and cut the treatment time in half. Since I'm at week 25 of 48 I can tell you for sure that I'd love to be done with this right now instead of still having 23 weeks to go.

Do you know how much damage has happened to your liver already? A biopsy will tell you that.
