Mmmm, dark chocolate ensure and one can endure!

Af this point in time my. Hepatologist is not recommending a transplant, I could probably qualify because you get extra point because i have the cancerous carcenomas, i think that gets you 18 points so with the 7 that gets me to 25 on the MELD chart but the carcemonas are according to my Iinterventionlal Radiologist “well treated” meaning their dead and my liver is not spinning off anymore and not spreading. My liver enzymes are really normal,. The Hepatologist said she thought at this time they would do more harm than good with a transplant, I keep a meeting with them every third month to see nothing has changed. My problem is that I’ll be 70 in August and you kind of age out of the transplant option at 70. Hope things don’t go wild the day i turn 70! But I’m rid of the hep C, never have alcohol so I feel as long as I’m not doing anything to further damage my liver everything will stay the same, I’m not sure if that’s true of not but the theory I have adapted. Have a Hepatologist virtual meeting on Wednesday so I’ll see if I find anything else out.

Thanks for asking.

Diane
