My sister who is 29 and has Downs Syndrome (with the mentality of a 5 yr old) will be having a liver biopsy next week. We had a hard time making the decision to go ahead with it or just start treatment for HCV, which she got from a blood transfusion from open heart surgery as an infant. I have been searching for info as to what “REALLY” happens in a biopsy, and I want to say a big THANK YOU because now I feel that just maybe she can handle it. It also eased my worries for my very special sister!!;)

I was recently diagnosed with HepC. Next step is the biopsy and I am scard. Thanks for the informal, first hand info. It really eased my worries about the whole process.

[...] You will probably experience quite a bit of time between first presenting at your Doctors with symptoms and starting treatment, somewhere between 6 and 12 months seems about the going rate. There are a few milestones on the way but imho the biopsy is the biggie. Not everybody has a biopsy, whose purpose is to judge the state of your liver damage, but I think most do. [...]
