Unfortunately it will, but it is a slow progressing disease (Hepatitus C) I had it for about 30 years or so. Right now it is just there doing nothing, we want to wait until some other procedures that I go through are done. We may then look at a plan of attack, but one of the guys in the support group where we talk to people waiting for a transplant underwent Interferon Ribovirin treatment and lost his new liver and had to have a second transplant, but that was before the PEG they use now. One of the women is undergoing the PEG treatment now and I am waiting to see how it goes with her, and I want to be able to talk to her about it.
