Maybe you can get into a trial, what is your genotype?  What is your stage and grade of liver?  These are things that can help you determine if it is necessary for you to treat right now.  
There is also a new breakthrough that can tell if you will respond to treatment.  It seems so new that I'm not sure when and if they will be offering this test.  It is a genetic test.
The treatment can be very hard and expensive, so there are some other factors to look at before treating, although that is just my opinion.

Get the Treatment and make payments on all the bills coming in.  That is what I did and am still paying on bills from 2 years ago.  Pay the most important ones and most will work with you.  I also have ins with an outrageous deductable.  

BTW, I have been virus clear for 1.5 years so it was worth it.  Good Luck
