Is hepatitis c deadly?

My cousin recently got very sick, and the doctors mentioned hepatitis C. How deadly is hepatitis C, actually? I'm quite worried about him.

Beti, in our time, it was very serious and scary. But now, with good doctors and proper treatment, it is manageable and often curable. Don't think the worst; just get it checked properly.

Anything can feel deadly when you're sleep-deprived, but seriously, Hepatitis C can be quite serious if left untreated. But with current treatments, it's often curable. So, go to a doctor, get some rest, and don't panic.

If untreated, it can lead to serious liver damage over time, which can be life-threatening. Just like a healthy vegetarian diet helps, proper medical treatment is crucial here. Don't ignore it.

Like managing my diabetes, which can be deadly if ignored, Hepatitis C also needs proper attention. Untreated, it can cause severe liver issues, but with medicines now, it's very manageable and often curable. So, see a doctor without delay.

Oh god, I always overthink these things! It *can* be very serious and even deadly if not treated, leading to cirrhosis or liver cancer. But please, don't panic. Modern treatments have high cure rates, so see a doctor quickly.
