Stage 3/4 still drinking???
My husband was diagnosed with Hep C in 1997, he most likely has had it for over 30 years. He was offered treatment then but decided to wait for better meds. He continued to drink and also went on the Atkins diet 2 or 3 times over the last 11 years. In April he had biosey, they thought he had liver cancer. Biopsey revealed Stage 3/4 Cir. he continues to drink daily and has not changed diet or anything. His belly is so swollen and a few weeks ago he had a seizure, his memory is going and his mood swings are killing me. He will not return to the Dr. is there anyone out there who knows what I should expect, how long will he be here. Months, years???? I just need some answers.
Trinity: "Geez Jim, pay attention"..."You've had the board for many years and I'm not trying to dethrone you of your "guru" status"
---------------------
Trinity: "If you choose to take (the above) personally, sorry."
-------------------------------------------------------------
And how should I take the above other than ad hominem nonsense? Feel free to ignore me and this post as I will do my best to ignore you. Too many sick people here for these kinds of personality-rooted discussions.

You know what Jim, this is my time. You've had the board for many years and I'm not trying to dethrone you of your "guru" status. I would have thought by now nothing anyone says or does surprises you. I don't present myself one way or the other nor do I try to be all knowing - it was an oversight on your part and I pointed it out. If you choose to take it personally, sorry.
But "geez" HCA, "pay attention" ... you should have known that without "Trinity"
having to point it out to you :)
Be well,

Yes, I missed that but was the "geez Jim, pay attention" part really necessary? Why not just give the info and forget the personal stuff. We all can't be as perfect and as smart as you present yourself.
'His belly is so swollen'(severe) ascites is a sure sign of decompensation.Also 'his memory is going'.
I've been wrong before,but grasping at the info we do have I would be surprised if this guy is not Child-Pugh B at least.
Sadly many such people or their family post once and we never hear from them again.
