I am beating the odds too, this month will celebrate 27 years(1998) with a liver transplant needed because of hepatitis C. Within weeks of transplant the hep C started damaging the newly transplanted liver and after 16 years I had stage 4 cirrhosis again. That is when the cure for hep C was approved for patients with transplants(2014). I was treated then, responded wonderfully. The hep C is gone for good and my liver has regenerated to stage 0.
