No, it's just running in the background slowly taking my new liver. If it takes the same amount of time to kill this liver like the 30 or so years it took to take out my native liver then I should make it to about 84-86 years old.

The treatment for a cure would have me going through 48 weeks of self injected chemotherapy along with several in hospital visits, and the prognosis for me is less than 20% likelihood of success, and it could kill this liver as well.
