Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

How often are you getting your labs done? Your doctor should have a plan to keep your hgb high enough during tx. Usually a riba reduction or Procrit shots.
In the meantime, rest... Your body is working so hard!

I have full labs with RNA done at week's 4, 8 and 12. I had an additional draw at week 6 and will be asking for another tomorrow (my 10 week mark) at my 8 week follow-up appointment.

Looking forward to survivor status.
