I posted a response in your other thread. When I posted it I did not know you had just contracted Hepatitis this year. Therefore, as desrt pointed out, there may be some other things to consider in terms of treating and when to treat.
I would encourage you to have some contingency plans lined up in case you cannot work (see your other thread). Generally speaking, unless a person has very sever side effects and has to be taken of the drugs, it is not advisable to quit the treatment mid-treatment. If you quit early, besides having less of a chance at cure, you may also develop some mutant resistant strains of the virus. Then you will have to wait for a couple of years before trying treatment again.
Anyway, I responded to more of your questions in your other thread.
If you are certain of when you contracted HCV (tested specifically for it shortly before your procedure and were negative) a good arguement can be made for txing while the disease is in the 'acute' phase as there is a better chance of clearing. Side efects are different for everyone. I never missed any work, but only had to do a short course of tx with PegIFN and riba, being geno 3. You should be doing frequent viral load tests, both to establish your baseline viral load and to see if you're one of the 20% who is able to clear it on your own without tx.
