    I knew a fellow that had Hep C - and at one point they did do a liver transplant.
    Trouble was, the cancer had gone into the bile duct, and he did die several years later. This happened about 5 years ago.

    I guess it depends how far along and where it is.

    Prayers that there is more information soon, and that there might be a treatment available.

    Now, don't get bummed out - I just lost another friend to this - but she was very comfortable and still cracking jokes on her last day.

    And there are people who get well too!

    Hugs and prayers for Guy. Maybe your dad will be able to help him out, you never know!

    I'm hoping they'll be able to do something to give him more time. I'm just wondering if he knew something beforehand and didn't say anything... He is one of the nicest, sweetest, most down to earth men I have ever met. He's been my podiatrist for years, and has been there for my dad throughout all of his illnesses, and has always talked with his other doctors and helped him out with meds and stuff like that. He just has this energy that gets you, and his smile is out of this world. I'm really hoping and praying that the "getting your affairs in order" was more of a joke than being said in seriousness.

    My mom tried to get more info out of my dad last night, but my dad said he couldn't remember what Guy had said on the phone, he was just so upset with what he had been told, that nothing really sunk in, so he's upset about that too. My dad's a big softy, and he's just a wreck right now, I really feel for him. This is a friend who has been there for everything with him for the past, geez, 30 years, and he went through so much with his own family, he just deserves to actually be happy and relaxed for a while.

    Jennie, I can only offer thoughts and prayers for Guy, his family, and all of you. It really does seem that bad things sometimes happen to good people. He sounds like a wonderful man.

    I hope he doesn't have too much pain and suffering throughout this illness.
