Diagnosed With Cirrhosis Of The Liver. First Diagnosed With Hepatitis C. What Kind Of Doctor Should I Seek?
Hello, I have been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. I was first diagnosed with Hepatitis C 5 years ago. My current doctor wanted to send me to a infectious disease doctor, however, I don't think an infectious disease doctor is the correct choice since I now have cirrhosis. I read interferon treatment will not cure cirrhosis. My doctor now wants me to see a Therapist. What kind of doctor should I seek?
