      My name is Sharon, I have been married to Chuck for 22 yrs now. He was diagnosed with Cirrhosis in late 2007 from complications of hep c. Things have really been moving at a fast pace this year, being accepted for a liver transplant but very low on the list with a number of 11 this week last month was a 12 .The end of last month he was hospitalized with high ammonia levels.

I have searched for support systems here in town but happend on this web site and reading experiences from others has already given me more information than anywhere else.
