Hi Juel,
About 30% of people with hepatitis C don't go on to develop a chronic liver condition. This has to do with the genetic strain of the virus and your own genetic profile. Since you didn't mention elevated liver enzymes or jaundice, you may not treatment although your doctor will want to regularly run follow-up tests.
Milk thistle herb is helpful for protecting the liver. Avoiding alcohol and drugs is also helpful and so is a nutrient-rich diet and supplements like liver-care. My book Hepatitis, Causes, Treatment, and Resources describes hepatitis in great detail and has several chapters on hepatitis C. You might want to see if your library has it or Amazon has a used copy. Interferon is sometimes used for hep C, but it can worsen and sometimes trigger new autoimmune conditions.
It's a good idea to start out with a low dose of Tapazole, like your 5 mg dose, to help protect your liver. Avoiding environmental triggers such as excess dietary iodine in processed foods will also help move things along. Antioxidant vitamins and stress reduction techniques can help with both conditions. Best, Elaine
