The documents uploaded to Dropbox were hard for me to understand because they used a lot of medical terminology and focused on the micro-aspect of treatment (eg: RNA treatment, etc) versus the macro-aspect (treatment options)--which I need.
Instead, I turned to: http://www.hepatitis-central.com/hepatitis-c/
From there, I searched several other treatment options and compiled a PPT.
I also signed up for patientslikeme.com and saw the following report of "How people treat it"

From the report, I can tell that the peginterferon alfa 2a is the more effective treatment. Many people experienced complications and severe symptoms with Ribovirin, as I also saw with my research.
From my research, I saw first-hand the plethora of treatment options available and why it is so difficult for patients to understand the best options for them and why they are scared to start a treatment that lists so many harmful side effects. Today, I looked up treatment options from the point of view of a patient, seeing it for the first time and getting baffled by medical jargon and scared by the impact that these treatments have.
Tomorrow, I will research more on treatment options, from a researcher perspective and try to narrow down the most effective treatment options and keep information on each to a minimum, understandable level.
