My mother was tested November 2008 Level 4 cirrohsis

WHAT IS LEVEL 4 CIRHOSIS OF THE LIVER....HOW LONG WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO LIVE?  SHE IS ALSO HEP C WITH A GENOTYPE 3, I THINK, AND SHE HAS AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE CALLED PAN'S DISEASE, SO NOT A CANIDATE FOR A TRANSPLANT.  SHE HAS NEVER DRANK IN HER LIFE AND IS A VERY HEALTHY PERSON IN ALL OTHER WAYS.  

CAN SOMEONE HELP...VERY HARD TO FIND STUFF ONLINE ABOUT THE LEVEL OF THE CIRROHIS

I was diagnosed with stage 4 cirrhosis in July. I also have hepatitus (hepatitis). I too have hardly ever drank (had an alcoholic father so we were pretty turned off alcohol) so I understand how hard it is to understand all of this. I'm fairly healthy otherwise, as well. My specialist told me that I'm not 'even near' the transplant stage yet, so not to worry about it at all. In the meantime, I was to continue living a very healthy life...diet, exercise, no stress, & a lot of prayer.
I have since found out that stage 4 isn't the last stage...there's actually an 'end stage' after 4 where you can get pretty sick but until then, there's lots of time to live a good life. Everyone's different but he told me it's all about HOW you live, not the time frame so keep up the faith. Give her lots of support & love, & enjoy whatever years you have left with her...make every day count.
Good luck,
Chevy
