My daughter was on drugs. clean 7 yrs. has hep c. was told worse strain . her bloodwork says 16 million ..is there a tx that doesn't make you sick ?

Not yet...: Most hepatitis c drug regimens require many months of treatment & combine various agents to improve efficacy. Each drug comes with substantial side effects. There is hope however for a not-so-far-in-the-future cure that may be better tolerated. Have your daughter explore her current options & experimental ones with her liver doctor since waiting for "something better" may not be her best choice.
