How Can Appetite Loss While Suffering From Hepatitis C Be Treated?

Hello Doctor.very worried. Have Hep C but didnt get the results from geno type back yet but during the Ultrasound, my Doctor looked at results of that, telling me my liver has several tumors. Have had absolutely No Appetite cannot even eat hardly anything unless I force myself and from no appetite for so long, dramatic weight loss in the last couple years. Been a Heroin addict for 15 years leading to seizures almost every time I would use without any recollection of anything I did, following the episode. Currently 6 mos. off Heroin and on daily methadone a 50 mgs a day as given to me by Tarzana Treatment Center in Tarzana Calif. Now in sober living for the last 4 days. owned and operated by Tarzana treatment as well after 6 mos in their residential treatment center. feel weak from not alto of food intake whatsoever. Hardly eating at all. its been suggested to me that it could be Serotonin syndrome or serotonin toxicity or hepatic encephalopathy but haven t been diagnosed yet, just went, like I said, try to get on Harvoni and thats when my new doctor assigned to me by Tarzana, i was told that the tumors could be Cancer. I want the truth please tell me what you think . Why also cant I eat? No appetite at all . weight loss. I am 5 11 and 150 lbs. Please get back to me now if you can. Thank You, so much.
