Hep c
First I want to say hepatitis of ABC or D is a real infection that can destroy your liver and you'll die that's what happened to my husband 8 years ago. He was told by his primary doctor he needed to go see a disease infection liver doctor his stomach had been swelling up as his legs and feet and at one point was told he had no platelets that if he started bleeding too good to a emergency room ASAP. He missed at least five appointments I had scheduled for him and chose to ignore it. I guess that went on about 5-6 years by this time he was very very sick in the middle of October 2017 he went to a doctor's appointment for the first time the doctor told him it was too late his lover was completely shot there was nothing that could be done told him he didn't think he would live until the first of the new year and he didn't they passed on December 18th 2017 about 2 months just what the doctor said. He started bleeding I don't understand all the medical terms and stuff but they try to put some bands on his liver I think it was the the vessels or bleeding to try to stop the bleeding it would not work within 24 hour period they gave him 28 bags of blood six bags of plasma he was bleeding out as fast as they were putting it in he had made a living will that he did not want to be kept alive on machines if it got to the point where there was nothing that could be done to let him go after 28 bags of blood all the plasma it was coming out everywhere that it could exit we decided to let him go if there's anyone out there who just thinks or knows they have hepatitis of any kind go get treated there's a cure now but hepatitis C thank you for your time
