Will I Die Because Of Hepatitis C?

I was diagnosed in 2003 of having hepatitic c with geotype 1a after having done lab work. I thought I was going to die. I went through 1 year of self injections with peg interferron and riboviron capsules. All of my friends and coworkers think that once you get it you don t get rid of it and that I will some day die with this disease. I am taking meds for hypothyroidism because of the hep c treatment I was onm. Am I going to die from this disease?
