Do you know about Cirrhosis and/or Hepatitis C?
My grandmother has had Hepatitis C for years and she is now 69 years old. She has been drug and alcohol free for over 30 years but the damage was already in progress. She never did the treatment for Hep C because her gastric doctor thought it would be too harsh for someone her age. She just got a liver biopsy and has been diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the liver stage 3 4 stage 3, border line 4 . We're scared of the unknown and not sure what happens from here. Grandma feels and looks perfectly healthy people always guess her age to be in her 40s although she's 69 because she's still very active and vibrant So can anyone share their personal story or experience with a similar situation? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance
