Starting treatment

So I met my new GI doc today and it went very well. I have to get my doc to sign off saying that I've been on depresion meds and I have to get an eye exam. She said as soon as I get that done then I can start treatment with riba and interferon. As early as the end of next week. Also I'm a 2b, vl of just under 1 mil, and my liver damage is a 0 and a 1 and just 24 weeks of treatment no matter what. I'm very scared but also excited to know that I'm getting closer to being hep c free!
