I too hope not since I was diagnosed with it in 2005, treated immediately thereafter for 72 weeks and have been SVR since then.  I dont think I'm dead anyway!

I like your ATTITUDE !!!
Back when I started JULY 09 it was far harder to find someone to treat stage 3. I proved to my Doc not a problem lets do it

The doc told me I was stage 3. Not two seconds went by before I said, when can I start.  C'mon now let's get serious about HCV.

If you have hepatitis C you have very good odds of curing yourself of the virus with the new drugs that are available now and never dying of liver disease.
