Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. I have a

question and I hope somone can answer it for me. Im

24 years old and have had hep c for almost a year. I

had a liver biopsy done and the doctor said there is

only a little bit of scarring to my liver. My

question is shouldnt I be getting treatment while

everything is okay because he doesnt want to treat me

for it but why wait for it to progress do you think I

should get a second opinion?

What an idiot doctor....Just a little bit of scarring now and won't treat

you? Man shoot the doctor, or sue him. This guy must be a total idiot.

Just go to a different doctor right away.

As a general rule, yes treatment does work better the sooner you start. You

need to speak with your doctor and find out exactly how he came to the

decision not to start you on some type of treatment plan now. You mentioned

having had Hep C for only a year now. Maybe I ask you a question? The time

you contracted HepC and the time you were diagnosed are two very different

things. Do you knot what the source of infection was and when? Was just

wondering exactly how long you have had it.

Anyway, you need to write down a list of questions with why he doesn't want

to start treating you now at the top of the list. Find out exactly what his

plans are. It's always a good idea to bring somebody to the doctor with you.

I found that very helpful, as I either forget to ask or forget what he told

me by the time I got home.

The screen is getting a little blurry here and I need to go lay down. Feel

free to ask me any question if you have them.

Good luck

Cheryl, if you have only had it for a year there is a possibility of you

clearing the disease with either allopathic medicine or herbal medicines.

Always ask the doctors questions, some of them won't like it, they think you

are a know all. They are the arogant ones. Then there some doctors who

welcome the questions.

There is a lot of information on the net Cheryl. Why don't you find out for

yourself. Then go and see the doctors informed and ready to ask questions.

Wishing you well.
