Can I still reach my Dream? Is there a life after Hepatitis B?

Im a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Nursing in FEU and I now, a REGISTERED NURSE as I passed the Nov 2008 board examination. I graduated as *** LAUDE in my school hoping that this recognition could bring me to success. Until now, i can't believe that all my dreams will just fade because of my condition. I was diagnosed with hepatitis B when we had our screening when I was in 2nd year college..I wAS so blessed that i was able to finish college even with this kind of condition. But now, that i'm a registered nurse, new worries and fears hunted me..." Do I still have a chance to work as a nurse in the other country?" " iS it possible for me to work here in the Philippines as a nurse knowing that Filipinos are not that open and very strict with regards to this kind of topics?" Now I don't know what to do...Im just praying for someone that God will send to me, which will serve as his instrument in giving me hope and encouragement with regards to my condition. I'm a healthy carrier since I got this disease from my mom...Hope for your reply

I just saw your post. Hope you are on antiviral therapy  like entecavir or newly approved drug tenofovir. Very important to get HBV DNA to undetectable level, SGOT, SGPT to within limits.
My doctor recommended not to go on peg interferon with HbeAg -ve. It may interfere with other anti-viral therapy.
With this it is manageable. I am managing it for last 10+ years with regular liver profile test. Wish you all the best.
Good luck as  far as migrating to another country.
