| Response from Dr. McGovern
 If your provider has already decided on treatment I wouldn't necessarily proceed with a biopsy at this point. This decision may have been made due to the amount of virus in your blood and your liver tests. The most important issue is that you have achieved a negative viral load test. Keep up the good work!! Everything else will fall into place. | ||||||||
