Have you been followed at all over the last 30 years?

Why do you believe you are in the final stages of liver disease?

I had hep c for 37 years before I was finally cured on my 5th treatment. I did develop cirrhosis after being infected for 30 years but the only reason I know is because I had a liver biopsy every 5 years after I was diagnosed with hep c in 1990. Were it not for testing I would have no idea I have liver cirrhosis.

I am not familiar with the abbreviation oc ca. I assume that is somewhere in California. Can you get a referral from your primary care doctor?

Do you know your genotype something like 1a 1b 2a 2b and so on? Have you ever treated in the past?

If you mean Orange County California you could try UC Irvine Liver and Pancreas Services especially if you do have advanced liver disease.
