You may also wish to visit MyHealth.com to find a gastroenterologist or hepatologist near you.

Feel free to add other questions to the list. You may find it beneficial to take notes when talking with your doctor, in case you want to refer back to them later.

Step 3: Choosing your treatment.

Research your options. Treatment is a serious undertaking, and shouldn't be taken lightly. Prepare yourself and know what you're getting into.

  • What is important to you?
  • Your long-term health?
  • Protecting your liver?
  • Maintaining your lifestyle?
Think about what you want as you choose a treatment. Talk to your doctor about the treatment that's right for you. Not everyone responds to treatment the same way. Everything from your size to genetics can play a part in how you respond to treatment. Take advantage of your support resources and put together a list, including co-workers, family, friends, and health care professionals. A strong support network can help you through the therapy.
