My long life best friend was diagnosed with final end stage 4 liver disease and we are frightened and not sure what to expect next. She was diagnosed with cirrhosis last year and has abstaned from drinking since but has also experienced other health issue. We are not sure if she has hep at all but was told she had liver cancer but then after the CT Scan that was not evident.  She was just released from the hospital yesterday and was mostly being treated for a urinary tract infection which also contributed to a blood infection. We are trying make sense of all of this---and looking for some insight.  Another very sad factor is that she has no health insurance and is being treated at county hospital, and we are beginning to think they don't care as much for the uninsured.  Please anything information you can offer will be very helpful.  Also want to add, we have an appt with her primary Dr. on April 5th and hoping to walk away more informed.  

Thanks for your help and please pray for Guadalupe Maria R.

My husband , who is only 53 years old, has just been told he is in stage 4 of liver disease. He was treated four times with Interfuron, pegasus, etc. and if he could he would get treated again. Unfortunately the treatments  failed. Did he get sick, yes, of course. But, six months of  having flu like symptoms and depression did not deter him because he wants to continue to live to be with his children and grandchildren. There are some genotypes that are resistant to interfuron. I implore you to beg your son to get the treatment that can save his life. Anyone who is reading this, if you have to, get Social Security Disability, especially while in treatment. If your spouse has to go to work, so be it. I was a stay at home wife until my husband became ill. His Social Security was not enough so I now work forty to fifty hours a week but do not mind one bit. Along with his hep C he also has Congestive Heart disease, diabetes, and is hard of hearing and must wear hearing aids. My mother died of Hep C. One day she got out of the shower, sat on the chair, and lapsed into a coma. I only hope and pray my husband can go as peacefully as she did; however, we will continue to fight until the bitter end with vitamins, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle.  For all of you who are out there sick, God bless you and good luck. Miracles do happen  - and often!

Sorry to hear your Mom is feeling so poorly. None of us are docs here, but at first read, I thought about a stomach "flu" - but two weeks is a long time. Seems a follow-up visit with her PCP or hepatologist would be in order to rule out any other causes if the symptoms persist. Hope you soon find some answers......
