My doctor wants me to do the standard combo treatments for Hep C But I'm somewhat apprehensive!, The side effects read like a rat poison label, i.e. Could cause cancer, diabetes (Which i'm border line now), Heart problems, anemia, mental problems, Suicide, Screw up your DNA, etc..., It sounds like the cure is worse than the disease!, And to top it off theirs only a 40 to 50% it will work!,( I'm geno type 1/ high viral load), This has been the ONLY treatment option for 10 years!, It seems they should of come up with a safer option by now?, Makes me wonder if the makers (Roche) have a Monopoly on it?, I'd like to hear from people who have done the treatments and their experiences, thoughts and advise?
