Gosh, that is so scary, I hope everything turns out ok. I happen to know of a fantastic treatment for Hepatitis, this doctor uses all natural, alternative treatments and with amazing success, I know this because I have seen what he has done for a few of my friends with Hepatitis, he is a true healer, I'm pretty sure he has a website, i think it's alchemistlab or something, google it...blessings, Patricia
