My sons father was given 5 years to live with cirrhosis..........14 years ago! At only 40 yrs. old!
He was a drinker (now wonder if he had Hep C and didn't tell me!! I left him. took the kids because of his drinking! ) but he immediatly stopped drinking, cleaned up his life. I have not talked to him in several years, my lack of trying, but do know he's still kicking.
Your friend must make his choice to clean up his life in this.......if he wants to live longer.
Your a good friend to worry tho, now nag his arse off to clean up, live healthy :}

Now that was funny. You may be right about the source though, and that is somewhat troubling. Mike
actually i think this source/ alcohol counselor was all doom and gloom...
and black and white on the issue.
I may have missed something here. I didn’t know an Alcohol Councilors are now authorities on Hepatitis C and Liver Conditions
We talk so much about new treatments coming I wonder how many studies/trials are being done on stopping the liver damage vs killing the virus because it seems to me that even though there are other problems with having HCV the liver damage is the worst by far and how many people would really put themselves thru all thos treatment if you could keep your liver in fine shape??
I have read many off the wall comments in this thread.
Cirrhosis is NOT a death sentence, people live decades as a survivor. Of course, you must help by stopping drinking or drugs. If you don't, it will be a death sentence. Alcoholic liver disease is the hardest to survive.
Cirrhosis is NOT a sure step to HCC.
Just stop what you have been doing to your liver in the past. Eat healthy, limit fat consumption.I've had HepC since 1972 Dx. in 1989. Have be cirrhotic since 1995.
