My wife had and has been cured of Hep C a few years ago. She went on a 'new' experimental treatment plan for a year. The treatment was not guaranteed to cure her but she felt that it was worth the gamble. She suffered all the bad symptoms associated with Chemotherapy, the loss of her hair, the sickness aches and pains and exhaustion, but at the end of it my wife is now Hep C free.
At that time they tested me also as I might have caught it also as she had had it for so many years (about 25years at that time, from when she was nursing) but I was free of Hep C. We already new I had HepB but that was when I found out what it really was and the problems it causes.
It seems I am a carrier of Hep B and do not have the Hep B but am just an infector of it. What I was told at that time was that to cure me would entail them giving me Hep B to cure it to enable them to cure that.
What ended up happening was to leave well enough alone as Hep B is not a problem any more so thank you and goodbye (and that suited me).
When I was first diagnosed with Hep B I had to go to the Department of Infectious Diseases even when I went to the dentist, and this was right up to about five years ago.
That is some of my life with Hepatitis.
