Treat or not

Hi, I was diagnosed 2 years ago hepc after a visit 2Dr because I was feeling so bad & tired. Not me. I had liver biopsy after 1 yr, it was great. No cirrhosis or fibrosis. My labs to this day are still completely normal. (liver profile/enzymes) I  wanted to wait 4  Trtmnt until after my son graduated high school. Mow he's grad and I'm not sure about trmt. I don't have much support except my son and I don't feel like I should put all that comes with the trtmnt on him. They wanted to treat for 48 wks. Of course mow i hear the new med os out mow.My hub of 21 yrs has become addicted 2pain meds from a bad back. (not bad enough for the way he abuses his meds)  I go back 2liver doc in Sept and there I'll decide. I don't know what to do. Take my chances or treat. I hear the trtmnt is brutal. Any info would b so appreciated. My prayers and Love with u all. Puppyluvurr
