Is Hep C Cirrhosis Reversible

Once the Hep C virus is removed the liver cirrhosis will heal and the life expectancy of the patient increases significantly. In the 7 years I have been dealing with people with Hepatitis C I have come across hundreds of people who had liver cirrhosis that healed completely once the Hep C was cured. Below is an email I received a week ago from a woman who went through this experience.
