Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

I just saw my HVC dr. and got a good report. Into week 29 now and been undie since 12 weels

What bothers me is at the end of the visit he tells me that Hep C can relapse.

I am just wondering what are the odds of it relapsing. I thought this TX was a cure....was I wrong?

"Maybe" and "Can" are two little words that have so much power. Live like it's gone, always protect your liver, do all the things you want to do (within reason..lol ) and get regular check ups. "IF" it comes back, then so be it. We are in an age where soon enough, there will be "THE" cure.
Don't worry, just live the best you can and enjoy what you do.
P.S. There are many people who are still S.V.R. after many years.

Worry only reduces your chances...it wreaks havoc on the body. But I know that's easier said, than done. Don't worry, be happy. :-)
