Looking for answers

[Guest guest]

I hope someone here can help me find some answers. My husband and I

are seperated on friendly terms. I've known for some time now that

he has liver problems. Several months ago he finally admitted that

he had hepatitis C and cirrhosis of the liver. I've done alot of

research and know that his problems are very serious, but he dosen't

want to worry me, so there is alot of unanswered questions.

He has all the *bad* syptoms, acsitis, memory loss, trouble sleeping,

tho when he does it's for several hours or all day, fetor hepaticus

(the smell of death),etc.

He goes next week for a liver biospy because he's in the process of

being put on the liver transplant list.

I'm wondering if the biospy is for cancer or his MELD scores. I'm

kind of getting lost in all the medical terms, and would just like to

have someone to talk to who can explain some of this in English, and

help me fill in the blanks that he's keeping from me.

Mine is kind of an *odd* situation, anyone who can help me thru this

in any small way, would mean more than you could know.

Thanks so much, even if you just took the time to read this......and

Good luck to us all.......*Marge*
