Hi all, I just got off the phone with my step mom and was told my step brother's Hep C came back after 1 1/2 years! Is that even possible? He was cleared at 24 weeks and did not show any signs of Hep C. He was in a trial a while back and did some wicked regiment that did include interferon. Has anyone else heard o...

I've read a couple of posts on fibroscan scoring and am very pleased to hear that it can improve past treatment. I had one today and I tried to sneak a look and thought it said 15.5 kPa Which I think is quite high and now I'm worried. I have read conflicting scores that indicate cirrhosis. 12.5, 14.7 and 17....
