Dr. Dietrich,
I saw a surgeon last week and I told him I had completed the 48 weeks of tx and was SVR and he said "there is no cure for HCV and I would be putting everyone at risk in the OR". I felt so embarrassed and dirty. Just have to get over it and put it out of my mind.
Thanks so much,

You need to see a non-ignorant surgeon! He is wrong and if you had an SVR you are indeed  cured! Find another surgeon or let me enlighten him for you ! DTD
