I was fortunate regarding the treatment as I jumped the queue as hep c was stopping me getting surgery for chest,I was offered the interferon years ago but didn’t fancy it my liver function tests were not too bad and I have no permanent scarring.i think 8.9 is normal so maybe wait awhile these newer treatments are coming down in price all the time and becoming accessible.
