Hi Bette...I can relate to your story. I was diagnosed with NASH in 2014. Over the next 4 years had the EGD procedure nearly 25 times because of varices, always banded never bled...yea! In 2016 diagnosed with liver cancer. In 2018 the now 3 tumors were large enough to treat, a transplant was the only option. I was transplanted at Mayo Jacksonville Nov 2019 at 70. Everything has been miraculous throughout this journey, not all enjoyable, but definitely a miracle. I'll be 73 in July and still deal with age related life issues, but my liver is doing great, I'm still with my family and I'm alive! I am eternally grateful to my Mayo family, my own family and my donor family❤ Never give up, its not an easy road but it is worth traveling it. Blessed wishes to you.

Kathy,
So glad all is well for you. I was comforted by your story. My journey is beginning like yours. Diagnosed with cirrhosis in 2019, treated for Hep c and cleared in 2020. Now have a slow growing liver tumor and will have it ablated this month. I am hoping for the best but realistic about more cancer and possible transplant in the future. Thank you for sharing your story.
