Depends on CA, Rx: Depends on what you have re: hep c and the cancer; as well as the treatments. Co-ordinate your hepatologist (liver specialist) and oncologist (cancer specialist).

Yes: Certain chemotherapy drugs can be toxic to the liver. If you have hep c and cirrhosis, than this will require specialized doses of chemotherapy for you. Additionally, chemo drugs that suppress the immune system can give other infections like viral hepatitis, a "green light" to become more active. Talk with your oncologist for details.
