How long do I have

Question

I am 49 years old. Four years ago I was diagnosed Stage 4 grade 4 and genotype 1b. I am a nonresponder and do not want to try the new meds out. I have spider nivea on my neck (both sides) pretty bad. I have acquired celiac, nerve damage in both arms, tumors in my humorus and tibia bone. I have tinnitus, legs swell almost three times their size everyday. As a matter of fact, my entire body swells now. I still work. I go home at 4 and am in bed most of the evening, unless it is a good day then I try to do all of my make-up "wanted to accomplish" things. I lost 30 pounds in 3 months. I weigh 136 right now but fear that number is dropping still, I can't eat, nausea is pretty bad. I take promethesine every night to help with the morning nausea. I don't want to sound like a complainer, but geez I feel bad and my quality of life has diminished soooo bad. I use to be sooo outgoing. Did everything. I can't sweat anymore for some reason so I can't do my yard and landscaping anymore. How long do I have before it kills me. I have had Hep C for 22 years. I now have opids in my lungs, grandulomas in my spleen, kidney pole and lungs. My glands in my neck have been swollen for about a year and I recently am running fever everyday, which is kind of nice cause the 100 degree temp outside feels cold to me, lol. I just want to know if there is a life expectancy for me?

When I was diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis, a doctor told my husband I had 5 years.

4 1/2 years later I had a transplant. 
The surgeon said if they hadn't done the surgery, I would have died within weeks.
That was over 2 years ago.

You have a choice.
 Get off the computer and go see a doctor or stop complaining, accept you will die, and make peace with the universe.
The moment you leave your body is not up to you.
 Nobody, nobody, nobody, knows how long any of us has.

Sorry to hear of your troubles.  I cannot even guess at the answer to your question.  Why not try the new triple therapies?  Even with their side effects, they might give you a chance.  Otherwise it will only be more of the same, or worse for you.

Think it over.
