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 have been here a while and there may be some of you that may remember a nurse that had a bad reaction--I want to say skin that progressed. She was being treated by a PA at a gastro's office. These drugs are harsh. Anyway, what I took away from that was a good hepatologist is needed with these drugs.

Since I could wait, I did. But for those that can't, a good doc that can read blood serums are the key. These are not drugs that the average doc can Rx and not follow a pt. closely.
