Almost there ........

Since the diagnosis, there has been little excitement. I have been through a barrage of tubes ran down my throat, MRIs, CAT scans, and any other tests you can imagine.

I have since been turned over to a hepatologist, or liver specialist, who takes care of me and the PSC. I have changed hepatologists a couple of times for reasons that I cannot remember. I am currently with the original hepatologist to which I was referred after my hepatologist at Emory University left for Miami.

For the past three and a half years, I have been taken care of through a medley of medicines and ERCPs. My last appointment with my hepatologist was on December 27, 2005. I learned in that meeting that they have done all that they can do and I am to the point to where my hope lies with a liver transplant. This is where we are at this moment. Working through paperwork and insurance trying to get me on the liver transplant list.

Now that you are up to date, the posts will probably be of an update on where I stand in the transplant process. There will probably be some posts also about feelings and thoughts going through my head about my life as well as the transplant process.
