Liver Cancer through HEP-C Liver Damage.
Liver Cancer through HEP-C Liver Damage.
I was wondering about the chances I have of avoiding Liver Cancer.I
have been HEP-C pos for twenty five years now,as I only became aware
of my predicament through a near fatal blood loss
episode.Brought on by heavy drinking,as I did abuse my body for a good
number of years prior to
the burst Stomach vein.Although I haven't had a drink since that
hapened on the 4/8/01 I have heard that I run a far higher chance of
getting Cancer of the Liver as a result.Are there any people
out there with figures or information on this subject.I find that this
is now starting to weigh heavy on my mind,so much so as it even
prevents me from getting more qualifications to get a better job.The
waste Demon inside me keeps saying it's too late and don't bother etc
etc,I do my best to
put these feelings to the back of my mind but sometimes they do win
the day.This is the sort of
self doubt and loathing which set me off on the Highway to Hell in the
first place.So if there is anybody who could shed some light on what I
should/could expect I would be most grateful.I know
this is hardly detailed and a sweeping generalisation isn't the best
diagnostic tool,but there must be some sort of guide.I also used to
inject hard drugs which has also stopped,and I did the year on TX
Interferon and Ribarvirin which cleaned me up a great deal.Even though
it didn't clear the Virus.Cancer doesn't seem such a bad way to die,I
would rather that than some of the other ways like total Liver
failure.Looking forward to hearing *GED*
