A 35 year old female, born in Poland but lives in Sweden for over 20 years now. Is 180 cm tall and weighs around 70 kg. Was heavily over-weight and topped the scale at 123 kg but has lost it in a matter of 6-7 months. Has consistently kept the weight off for 3 consecutive years. Continues to eat healthy. Is a virgin . Has never smoked, used drugs or/and alcohol. Is tattoo free. Is on anti-depressants such as: Zoloft 50 mg (against depression), Risperdal 1 mg (anti-psychotic) Lyrica 150 mg, ( mood stabilizer ), Levaxin 50 mg, (thyroid) and last but not least, Sobril 5-10 mg (tranquilizer). Was diagnosed with Hep C 2-3 years ago. A biopsy test later revealed that she has cirrhosis too. Her blood work is positive and the blood flow is very good. Her liver function is almost like a normal person s. A “fibros examination” determined that the level of the virus is at 12,9 where as some people have 70. She has no liver pains but does have joint and flu- like symptoms. Because of her mental state her psychologist and gastric & hep doctor has warned her that the treatment is very emotionally and physically taxing. Some patients with the same disease have taken their lives. Also she has undergone a examination where a camera was placed in her throat and down to her stomach to check for any changes or any detection of cancer. It showed no changes or cancer. Same thing with ultrasound. Is afraid to take treatment and the doctors feel at this time that she should wait. My question(s) now are the fallowing: 1: What is the best plan of action, what can be done to eliminate the chance of developing cancer and liver failure , and also in some severe case, death? 2: Are there any new studies concerning treatment, some breakthrough remedies? 3: What happens if one does not choose to take treatment? 4: What happens if one cannot fulfill treatment? 5: Is there anything I can personally do to manage the virus?
