Welcome to Voices. The others have given you very good advice. And actually the percentage of people clearing the virus is even better than 40% at this point, depending on your genotype of the virus. If you are a non-one genotype your chances are closer to 78%. Most of us are 1's though.
I think the biopsy is necessary also. If you have little liver damage you may want to wait until better treatments come along. HCV is a very slow moving disease.
