Marsha,

That sounds like a reasonable approach. Perhaps for you PSC progresses

so slowly that you will never get to the point of needing a

transplant. Dr. Chapman (in England) seems to think that a good

percentage of PSC patients will not progress to liver failure within

their lifetime. I think that as diagnosing PSC becomes more accurate,

milder cases that will never require transplant will be seen more

frequently.
