5th year anniversary

Well folks, today makes five years since my live liver transplant. I won't bother retelling my story but hep C almost killed me, a transplant with my daughter as my donor, returned me to life and finally doing interferon treatment got rid of the nasty virus forever !

Now, I'm healthy, happy, active busy growing a garden, painting and loving life, grateful for the blue sky above and the beauty of nature.

.If you are doing treatment, don't give up and don't let the nasty side effects get you down !  

My best wishes for everyone.
OH

Happy 5th anniversary OH!  Thanks for sharing, it's very inspirational I'm sure to those who come here reading and looking for answers and for help are all very inspired by your success.
It's a shame that with so many waiting to be transplanted that they don't do these donor transplants here in the states or Canada, etc.. I hope that soon they will consider this in all countries, if they have not already started..
If I didn't already say this before, but think I did, congrats also on your SVR!

You must have a great loving daughter, she sounds so courageous, my best wishes go out to her as well!
