Biopsy results

  Hello,
  I've posted many questions to you regarding my sons hep c.  Thank you so much for your responses.  I received a copy of my sons Liver biopsy.
  It read:
  Grade 2, mildly active chronic hepatitis consistent with HCV.  There is 0 to 1+ hemosiderosis, 1+ microglobular steatosis and stage II periportal fibrosis with rare septa.  The inflamation (inflammation) is mild and there is little necrosis.  There is no evidence of cirrhosis.  
  COuld you please exsplain this to me in your own words?  I know having no cirrhosis is a good sign, but what about the other information in the biopsy.  He is still not curently on any treament, I'm still confused on what is best.  I'm afraid he will not be handle taking interferon.  He already suffers from a low white count (3.4) ..We see the doc in a few weeks reagarding treatment..I know when to start treatment is a tough decision, I will have to do more homework to see what is best for him...I've been hoping some new treatments will come available...Ive heard about a pegly interferon which doesent seem to have the side effects..Thanks again for all the info you have given me..I love this site and it is very helpful.
  Have a nice day
  Linda  :)
