Hi thanks for asking question.
You have developed cirrhosis with hepatitis c.
There is no permanent cure of cirrhosis except liver transplantation.
You taken correct treatment for hepatitis c.
So after 4 to 6 month therapy hepatitis c might recovered but cirrhosis will not.
Daily do the regular exercise and fruits more.
Avoid fried and fatty food.
Cumin seed in water or licorise with honey useful.
Avoid smoking and alcohol.
Complete your drug therapy with regular montinoring.
If edema develop in cirrhosis diuretic can be used.
I hope you have understand my concern.
