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.

Hello and welcome to the forum... You say your seeing a liver doctor? What I don't understand is why this doctor is even talking about treating with Interferon with somebody who has never treated before. There are now and has been Interferon free treatments for all genotypes and are very easy it seems to take, hardly any sides and only 12 weeks of treatment in most cases. It doesn't seem hard to work while on these new meds. Good luck to you. Wishing you the best.
