Positivity and HepC treatment

[Terrymax]

My story goes like this and maybe it can give me and yourself some hope and assistance, i tell and you can ask. HepC diagnosed January 2009, Interferon treatment for 9 weeks before it was stopped due to Tumors detected, treatment was not a problem at all, never felt ill and HepC tests showed it was clear after 4 weeks, yes the Doctors were impressed. A 2cm tumor over 5 weeks grew ... [More] to 7cm and TACE ( direct chemo into the tumor) treatment was organised and Interferon stopped due to it affecting clotting. Tumor shrunk but life expectancy was 3 to 12 months unless a Liver Transplant could be organised. 5 months and 2 more treatments and workup tests ebruary 2010 i should have been dead and the doctors say due to my positive attitude i was still surviving and keeping relativly fit. March 2010 i recieved a new liver and now 6 months later with 4 months of rejection i am still alive. My wife of 30 years cheated on me during April 2009 till her lover left her in January 2010. She forced a divorce on me while depressed and dying in November 2009 as a safe guard against lossing our home due to posible bankrupcy due to our business failling during my illness. Calous and uncaring Psycolocical violent woman that she has always been. The doctors are still amazed as to how i am surviving and i try to keep positive due to the fact that my 15 and 21 year old boys and i have a new start in a rented home away from their mother who has not tried to talk to the boys about her actions. They despise her for her mistreatment of me and her infedelity and selfish life. I feel maybe i can assist someone else out there who has a similar condition and can give some positive support and information. Hey life goes on good or bsd and positivity is the key, but caring compasionate support would help immensly, but even without it i am proof the to be positing and have a future goal as i life with my boys can help.

Thanks for sharing your story. Your boys must be very proud of you and the courage you model to them. I know from experience how difficult it is to pray for those who hurt us too.
