I was diagnosed last August and I am in my 3rd week of treatment with Interferon(my side effects are joint pain and fatigue). Of course everyone is different and the doctors are obligated to tell you every possible side effect, but my 4 year old was diagnosed with hepc at the same time and after 2 injections the viral load was undetectable (he suffered no side effects at all). He of course had to remain on it for a year and finishes in August of this year. I say all this to comfort you. The side effects are not so bad that you cannot function, but you have to expect to keep yourself positive and all will be well. Do not know of any other options, but I was new to all of the lingo myself. Dont be afraid of all the talk.
Not sure how to anser question in here. new at this sort of thing.
I dont know what Geno I am, I did have a bioopsy and the dr said i have uncomprimised Cirrohsis, I beleve thats what it called. in other words my liver is still fully funcional.
