I’m 67 and I’m guessing I’ve had hepatitis A since I was 17. I failed peg in Tron and ribavirin therapy in 2002. The side effects were so bad that I was terrified of ever trying any further kind of treatment for hep. C. I Finally went to a gastroenterologist in 2021 and completed a 12 week course of Epclusa and had absolutely no side effects. I have stage 4 compensated cirrhosis and high iron levels. The doctor has never addressed my high iron. It’s frustrating to not be treated as a whole.

I have hemochromatosis and hep c. Getting ready to take Harvoni for 8or 12 weeks! Has there been any reports of liver cancer after completing Harvoni? I contacted hep c at 17 and now at 66 I have no focal hepatic lesions! I took interferon shots in 06 and had to stop after 12 weeks. My white blood count dropped too low. Any suggestions?
