A member asked:
I was diagnosed with hep c and thinking about not going through the treatment of shots and pills what is the worse that can happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Death: Unfortunately, the true answer is, if severe, worsening, and left untreated, hepatitis c may eventually lead to damage causing death. Discuss your specific case intensely with your treating dr. Before stopping treatment to ensure you are fully aware of the implications in your specific case. Best wishes.
