Episode #6 | Medical Uncertainty & What Happens Next - Liver Disease & Cirrhosis

Waiting with no end time and the uncertainty can play crazy tricks on your mental stability. Once I completed all the protocols that my physician team gave me, I thought I would then be pushed to “Activated” and ready for a transplant. Well, things don’t always work out the way we plan no matter how hard we work or wish something to be. Here is some feedback from my recent experience.

Nick I’m so happy you are here to tell your story. I’m sure you are helping others greatly. All the best, ❤

I wish you the best brother. I’m in IOP now and was diagnosed with stage three cirrhosis in 2021. I try to make everyday the best but sometimes it’s tough. Thanks for the post. Take care.

You look great, good luck to you. I have end stage 4 liver disease. Am I going to die? My doctor says I have less than 5 years

Everyone situation is different but I can say that your prognosis is NOT a death sentence! I did a video on my channel with that title. I was given a less than 20% to 30% chance of living for another 6 weeks.

How long did the doctors say you were gonna live? You are still here today. Don’t give up. Doctors don’t know everything that’s why universities still doing researches, wishing you the best.

I was given to new years 2022 at best. Still fighting!

If you have family that is compatible even a small part of their liver can work. I know that is a fact. Honestly they put you through to much for a transplant and medical science should be more advanced and it should be so much easier. I support unethical things though.

Thanks! I really appreciate your support. I agree that things should medically be easier. Especially today. Unfortunately for me I was adopted and have very little information as to my biological background which adds an extra level of difficulty. I have been able to find a couple of genetic matches of through the Ancestry DNA application but it's very limited.
