<title>Hep C - To Treat or Not To Treat</title>
<description><![CDATA[

        Yep.   That is the question.   Whether tis nobler or not, there is a lot to consider before taking this very important step.   Face it ... this treatment MIGHT cure us  ...  it might also cause blindness,  severe depression, and other stuff.    Whether or not to do the treatment for hep C carries no guarantees  can be a real crap shoot.  But it is YOUR decision to make.   Hopefully we can get ya started with a little food for thought here.
