Thank you for the advice Stef, i had a bad feeling about the doc anyway...will look for another one. I was already getting very depressed about the state of my liver until i found this thread saying otherwise..

It is not 100% thats why he said might as he doesn't want you to blame him if that doesn't happen. You are bellow 30, so for you, I would estimate (I am not expert in fibrosis regression) that there is 99% of chance that your liver will regress fibrosis if you get on nucs. It will take some time (maybe few years) for that to happen, it is a very slow process.
