June 1, 2016 - good news! A wonderful person has stepped up to donate half of their liver to Carol The person who will remain unmanned at this time has cleared all the hurdles of being accepted as a donor, a great accomplishment already! Now we await the surgeons' decision on how soon to move ahead with the transplant! It will be soon,,, that's all I can say for now.

I'm so happy to report that I have been able to start taking Harvoni, a treatment plan that got side lined by complications last December. I have been on it six weeks now and have a ZERO hepatitis c viral load already! Alas, it will cure the hep c but not the cirrhosis, I am still in need of the transplant. However I am feeling pretty fine right now and counting my blessings. Happy Holidays to all my fine friends and family and the crew at HelpHopeLive.org

Hi friends, last week I went to the transplant clinic for my regular wait list check up. The Doctor was happy that changes that were made to my treatment plan back in the spring had helped me a lot. So I was informed I could once again seek the new hepatitis medicine, Havari. Then yesterday I went back to Pittsburgh to initiate the process of getting the drug or an even newer better drug that just cleared for sale the day before yesterday... (Continued)...

OMG! I will be starting it in as little as a week! Six months from now I shall very likely be clear. Please keep your fingers crossed, I just have to hold on to his brief respite from eminent need to transplant and get this drug treatment done!
October 22, 2015
Of course, the transplant will still happen after that because the damage has already been done but I will be cured of the underlying cause.... I am optimistic!

Hello my dear friends and family! Tim and I thank you for helping us get through this journey. Already we have been fighting for many years this liver problem of mine. Now the time has come to get the transplant ... It would be impossible and overwhelming for us to do it alone. So thanks to the family and friends near and far that make me have hope for a new liver.
I thank especially my dear sister Janice, no matter what may come Janice has been my rock, kept an eye I on me and helped along the way; and Tim my husband whose love and patience inspires me to seek more life, more time with him. I am really humbled by the love that these two incredible people have generously shown me.
Please support me in this transplant adventure, I can hardly wait to see what it will be like to not be sick! It would be truly awsome to be me again!
