treatment
Hi
In October 2013, I had elevated liver enzymes. I agreed in February to take a hep c test. It came back postive. Have been seeing a liver doctor. VIral load 144, 000. I will have a liver biopsis on June 25th. Doctor says I can be treated with pesysis ?? intreferon, ribravin and some other medicine. Has anyone on this forum been on through this. I have read that it is hard treatment. can I work? So many questions, and no one to take to.o.

He wants to see if there is any damage to my liver.Also, I want to know when I got it. IAlthough I don't feel sick, and my viral load is low, I could have liver damage. You may have a low viral load Do you have hep c ? if so, where are you with your treatment, post treatment,etc.
I have gone through two different types of treatment. Treating now don't even compare. It used to be anywhere from 48 to 72 weeks with much less odds. Only doing 12 weeks would have been so nice.
have you gone through the treatment. I have not told any one about my diagnosis. I have adult children. My gastroentologist says I should tell my family.
My first question to him would be why Interferon? And depending on other factors not known to us is a Biopsy even needed. Depending on labs and other things there is less evasive ways to rule out cirrhosis and since SVR rates are so high now some doctors don't see the need... Again good luck to you.
Oh, the treatment will be for twelve weeks.
I have genotype 1b. He says I have to take the interferon.
