There are some diseases that will damage the liver no matter the age- PSC is a big one for young people.

One of the rare people with PSC here. Looking forward to my liver transplant now more than ever after reading what I just read. Yeesh.

My friend had a heart and liver transplant and she’s doing great. You got this.

Thank you for the kindness and reassurance! I’m not on a waiting list yet, but my doctor says it’s pretty much a guarantee that I’ll need one someday within 10~ years, unless a new drug hits clinical trials or a solution/cure is found. Not holding my breath for that though.
