Finding Hope

In this episode I talk about my journey for the last nine years after learning I have an incurable liver disease.  My intent is for others that may have been informed that they have a serious disease, whether it is cancer or some other debilatating illness. there can be hope.  I discuss both my mental and physical path but want people to know there can be help out there.  My intent was also to have another individual share their journey but they did not feel comfortable and I respect that.  If I can help one person feel like there is hope and how to live the remaining part of your life in a fulfilling way, I maybe will have accomplished something positive.  Find that passion and commit to living your life.  In many cases there are people or groups out there which can also help.  Just a quick update, after recording this episode I received the results of my latest fribroscan which I had last week as I am trying to get into a trial for a new drug.  Apparently the hardness or stiffness of my liver had increased by 20% within the past year and my fatty content level is now borderline to the highest level.   You can reduce the fatty content in your liver but not the stiffness.  It may impact me getting into the trial for the new medicine and a new curve thrown but I will persist.  KF
