be a survivor
my spelling is not so great but here i go anyway. I had my liver transplant 10/4/2012 18 months ago. my recovery was long and painful 14 months. Reason my donor had CMV Virus I did not. I have hepatits C reason for original transplant. I would like information about treatment,so hep C DOESNT kill me twice. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would like to share my experiences with any one that I can help. contact me at ***@****. Would love to discuss with you my path to health. BE A SURVIVER.
As with all things post-transplant talk to your people at the transplant center regarding treating your recurrent hepatitis C. Only they can determine if, when and what treatment would be best for you. The new treatments (interferon free and sometimes ribavirin free also) have made treating hep C post transplant a whole new better world than even a year ago.
I am very sorry to hear about your CMV. My transplant was Nov 16th. My donor had CMV too. So far, so good for me. That is why I am taking those $3,000 per month meds. It worth not getting CMV. That had to be tough especially after going through getting to transplant the surgery and then to get CMV. Terrible. I am glad you are feeling better.
I had my transplant Nov 16th and had hep C at the time of my transplant so I am infected also. I tried one of the new treatment pretransplant but failed so I will be treating later as it is just beginning to rear its ugly head now as my AST and ALT are starting to rise. No worries with the new treatment coming out way hep C will soon be a completely treatable infection. No more cirrhosis post transplant from hep C.
Better days are ahead.
Congrats on your transplant.
As you know... after going through transplant and CMV hep C is only a nuisance and will soon to be done away with for good. Its days are numbered. Good riddance!
