Walter Payton

[Guest guest]

Mr. Payton had PSC dx. 2 years before the public knew about it. He had

stints put in and in the spring of 1998 he had exploratory surgery where

they found his cancer had spread to his liver, bile ducts, and lymph nodes.

He made it clear to family and friends he did not want the public to know.

After quite some time the severe weight loss he suffered made it impossible

to keep the secret. Thats when the public found out he had the disease. Many

in public life want to keep some things personnal, so it seems to us that

from dx. to tx. is fast. Barb

That's what I meant. That by time the public knew about his PSC he was in

real need of a liver and can you blame them, especially when it's assumed

that if you have liver disease you have been doing something nasty to your

body.
