I think I'm going to wait until I reach the 1 year mark of my treatment which is in May. This medicine is brutal and cost 1k a month.
Your liver must be seriously compromised. The good news is that the liver is one organ that can recover. I wish you all the best.
You cannot live without a functioning liver. You can live a long full life without steroids or HRT. Fortunately, I don't am not faced with the choices you are. Although I am a prostate cancer survivor, I am able to continue with HRT after about a year off to make sure my PSA's stayed low following a prostatectomy.
I once had hepatitis A which fucked up my liver for awhile. The good news is that one can completely recover from hepatitis A unlike hepatitis C and some of the other versions of this disease.
