I see a specialist at MCV in Richmond and am currently enrolled in the bocepevir study at the VA- I love my dr. and my nurse! They are awesome.I was diagnosed in 02 and did not start treatment until Nov.08. I was nervous too, being a single mom to a 16,6,& 3yr old (my 6 yr.old has Cerebal Palsy along with other special needs not related to the hep!) I have to get better to be a better Mom and praise God I am responding well to treatment, No trace of virus since week 6. I will fight the fight because I am sick of being sick. I pray for you and your husband in your decision-I hope that you will find the strength in faith & prayer that I have.
hcv is often associated as a hidden disease in that there are no main symptoms unless someone gets really sick. you are already on the right track in finding the right hepa! and maybe take treatment into consideration. many types of insurance including medicaid and medicare may cover costs of treatment, but he will need some determination to physically treat. this will be a big decision to make and i'm sure you and your husband will make the right one.
i am currently treating at the age of 18 and bypassed the biopsy cause i know i wanted to get rid of the darn virus for my future. everyone has different priorities and it really depends on what is important to you and your husband to make that choice
good luck
