Transplant...?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

As I'am sure you all are, I've been avidly following Tom's progress

with all my entremities crossed for him, his family and donor. I was

reading through my past medical letters results etc.. (i keep a home

record)and noticed that they mensioned i have progressed through to

cirrhosis and my recent bloods say 'known cirrohsis' on the top. Does

this mean Im at stage 4? If so can anyone let me know how long it took

for them to reach transplant stage? I know we are all different but

this has shocked me a little. I've also found myself over last year or

so almost wishing I could have a transplant asap and get my life back,

start a career etc... Mad as this may seem has anyone else had these

thoughts? Is life after transplant like it was before psc, am i going

to get an almost 'normal' life? PLEASE dont get me wrong i am

petrified of having a transplant. BUT these thoughts do go round and

round..

Best Wishes to All
