I had hepc for 43 years before diagnosis and treatment 3 years ago, ribavirin / interferon.I had genotype 2, is there a difference in symtoms and damage caused by the various genotypes? Fibroscan indicated a level of cirrhosis but not too high a level, blood tests all okay but am a bit sceptical about liver function tests,have a pacemaker now and they say I cannot have another fibroscan. Very grateful for treatment and cure but the stigma and ignorance I have encountered has to be experienced to be believed!
