To Start Treatment Or Not To That Is The Question.

was diagnosed with Hep C 2 years ago, have no symptoms of a damaged liver, however viral level is 3,750,252. I was told about solvaldi and of course think it's too new of a drug to start treatment, but then I take a chance of getting liver cancer in the future. I have talked about this to my Dr. he thinks I should start treatment. I am genotype 2. I am not a drinker, thank God. Liver is healthy at this point. the thought of the virus living in my liver makes me sick... should I wait or start treatment only I can make that decision.. I know...

Hello, Jeannie! How are you? I am sorry about your diagnosis.
Another thing to keep in mind is that treatment may delay the possible progression and liver damage. While your liver may be healthy now, there's no guarantee how long it will stay that way, especially without treatment.
Yes, no one can make this decision except you, I'm just adding something else for you to take under consideration.
Are there any other questions or concerns?
