Thank you for your prompt answer cajim. This is all new to me and excuse me for asking many questions. Tried to read on the internet but most things that are there are very scary and/or hard to understand.
The doc gave me to do a CT Scan. He said that he would not put me on meds if it wasn't for me being infected with hep b and hep be at the same time.
What is HepBe anyhow?
