My best friend who is only 50 is in end stage liver failure.  She is currently on dialysis as well.  I have been told by her sister that she doesn't have very long to live.  The doctors said they are suprised she is not in a coma already.  She goes to get her abdomin drained every two weeks.  Yet sometimes she sounds so great I can't believe this is her end and all from drinking Vodka.  Is there no hope?
