Request prayers please
I don't feel real comfortable doing this but I DO feel prayers help. I respect a lot of you on here and value your opinions and knowledge. Today I went to a Hepatologist specialist and was told without a liver transplant I have 3-5 years to live. I was diagnosed with hepatitis c 5 years ago and life has been a real struggle ever since. I have ascities ( swelling and build up of fluid in the stomach) actually my whole body swole lol

Best of luck in your struggle.
I can see by your priorities(concerns) that you're a good family man. Medical breakthroughs pop up every day and you never know when that next one will be in your neighborhood of troubles. I don't know much about your particular affliction, but I know a few people who have had liver transplants. A lot of them have come from a small piece (1/4) I think of a healthy donors and they're thriving today. 2 friends fathers had liver transplants like these, in the late 1980s, early 1990s and are strong as a bull, working construction type jobs today. There is hope. |

I'm far from a doctor, but I think the liver is the only organ besides skin that will regenerate/repair itself.
Anyway, I won't pretend to know the answers or try to give conflict to things your doctors have likely already told you...but there's reason for hope. Stay right with the man, and your family and everything will work out. |

Hey man. That is terrible. I can't imagine what it woudl be like. I hav no idea whatsoever.
Prayers I can do. You got it. My grandma died of liver failure, but it was after she lived a very long full life. I'll be praying for the transplant, but if it doesn't happen, Iowanian is right. Stay right with the man and things will work out. Best of luck bud. |

A woman who was like a second mother to me had hepatitis-C for many years and after medications, it went into remission. She died from cancer two weeks ago, so if not for that, she'd still be here. A liver transplant may not be your sole option. Check into it as much as you can. God bless and may healing be yours.
