I think it's very informative for those who are weighing whether to treat or not...This shows where they could wind up if they develop liver failure from hep C and are lucky enough to get a liver...:) ~Melinda

It strikes home how serious this illness truly can be, I agree with MedicMommy.  It is a serious part of the issue that people who are weighing the choices do have to think about.
