My viral loading is relatively low, 20,394IU/ml (normal is >615). Maybe they're expecting me to die from the cancer so they they don't have to invest any more money on me ;-)
I would have thought that the Tx for cancer would have exacerbated the liver issues but apparently not.
Quiting drinking over 9 years years ago was probably a really good move in more ways than one.
I feel very blessed that my parents were both "normies". I had to learn how to be an alcoholic all on my own.
Ed - thanks for the tip on the Hep C primer.
There is no alcohol (or tobacco) for that matter allowed in our house either.
