I look at it as two separate things.
HCV: I am on Sovaldi / Riba to kill the HCV.
LIVER: I have ESLD Stage 4 with decomped liver. I am on a transplant list. The Sovaldi / Riba or whatever combo they put me on is not going to help my liver but hopefully it will kill the HCV so that when I get a new liver I won't still have to deal with HCV.
If you are still drinking you should stop immediately and find out what your viral load level is and what stage your cirrhosis is at. With cirrhosis you can be compensated or decompensate. Two different ballgames.
