Why isn't my ex on meds

[tlatpa]

My ex-husband was diagnosed with Hep C recently.  Apparently he has had it for decades and did not know.  He is on a sodium restricted diet, only able to consume 50oz of liquid a day, is taking many vitamins and not allowed in the sun.  He quit drinking June 1 and is hoping that he will qualify for a liver transplant.  Why would the Dr. not prescribe meds?

Some doctors don't believe in txing some ppl.  I had a GI I was seeing and he didn't believe in txing recovering addicts.  He told me that if I tx'ed I probably wouldn't clear and I may ruin my quality of life b/c of my past.  Needless to say, I don't see him anymore.  He did finally send me to his NP so I could start tx, but it took alot of pushing on my part.  After all that krap I wasn't interested in txing anywhere around that nutjob.  Your ex-husband could have a doctor like that or it could be the first answer you were given.

Most tp centers require 6 months of total abstinence before they can be considered for tp.  Some doctors require that same amount of time before tx can commence. Tx carries risk that patients will return to drinking (and/or drugging) while on the meds. I do not know if this is actually the case here, but I offer it only as a possible explanation.
