Hi albee61,

I'm hep c and have cirrhosis

I'm waiting to have treatment which i was told will start end November early December so any day now

although I'm relived after 20 years being hep c in 12 weeks it could be gone forever : ) can i ask if you had any side affects if so what were they,how long will it be before you know if the treatment have been a successful?

Your right it can be a scary lonely place living with hep c as well as other issue but this blog is helpful as well as insightful as we are all at different stages

Hi albee61 welcome to our little gang of travelers. I had hep C as well for 30 years before I cleared it with Harvoni. Not before it left it's mark with cirrhosis though. I to am trying to keep active and eat well. So I look forward to reading your posts in the future. Everyone in the forum is helpful and welcoming. So all the best Ian

Just re-read ur msg

is it cos the medication is so strong ...it caused cirrhosis do the tests reveal the extent

Hi there no the cirrhosis was caused by having the hepatitis C for so long and nothing to do with the meds. Good luck with your tests.
