No doctor can override God's time line. You're not dying until he says it's time, period. My husband survived a heart attack that should have been fatal and then he went to sleep. The doctor told us. "I can't explain why you ever woke up from that, it was a miracle from God is all I can tell you." You got your miracle too. Thanks for giving hope to others.

I just cry every time I hear this story...it's identical to my deceased son. They said "maybe a year....if you're lucky" He has a child that turned 18 one month before his death. I have custody of my grandson and he is depressed but hanging on. I say this to reiterate what LD is saying. My son, Ron, lasted a year and half but gave up half way through because he had it with Dr's. He was to get a liver biopsy and a groin biopsy...but he blew it off. He blew off blood work, and more. Listen to LD. He knows the ropes. I pray every day for him, that God will keep him going so he can be that light up on a hill! LD YOUR STORY, THO SAD, IS BRINGING HOPE TO MANY.

While I understand that I have to say in my father and step fathers cases it was useful for them - they were able to get their affairs in order - gave them time to discuss last wishes and funeral arrangements - promoted family from afar to reconnect. I would want to know my prognosis if I was terminally ill - with the caveat that ofcourse they can’t pin it down and things can change - doctors usually acknowledge this when giving prognosis. Prognosis can be very useful and helpful, but are never fact.

Hi there, I only found your channel today and have been watching some of your videos. I love your honesty. I have been drinking to excess for at least 35 years, the last 20 years have been mostly daily drinking. The longest stretch I have been sober in these 35 years is 104 days, this was around 10 years ago. I wish I had never looked back. I have had the occasional week off here and there but if I take one drink it all goes horribly wrong for months or even years at a time. I am on day 2. I have subscribed to your channel and intend catching up with your full story. I truly wish you and everyone here all the best. Thank you for sharing your journey, you have inspired me.

Thank God I was living with my dad taking care of him . I said Dad I'm having trouble. I remember us driving to the ER. When I got there I had a hundred and six fever. My lungs were so infected. They took me right in and put a 2 ft in my neck. I remember screaming and then taking my dad out. After that I don't remember anything for 2 months. They told my family I was on the brink of dying. I feel glad that I didn't know any of that. What you went through being aware of your destiny I can't even imagine. We are both here for a reason I love you and what you have done for me❤❤❤

That was really quite a story! Once again, we're all glad you're here and doing better now, and that the doctor's initial prognosis was wrong. I've seen many people go on living for many years or even decades after being told by doctors that they don't have much time left. I think mental strength is what keeps them going, and its what keeps you going as well. You want to be strong for your wife and kids so that you can continue to be in their lives for as long as possible. Oh and you're right about health being the most important thing in life. Without your health, no amount of money or material possessions will matter.

Glad to see that today you are recovered some since your diagnosis. Incredible to hear that you got up and continued to live your life. You are super human man.

I am a certified nurse. What , I learned over the years, is, that you never, ever give a prediction to people. I've seen it all. Give them a year, they die in a month. Give them a month and they could recover. Who am I, to hand out timing sheets? Not my job. At all. Although, I get that " I nwant to know" - part. Dont we all want to know? Fact is, I want to get old, but if thats my fate, I could have a stroke, or accident tomorow and die. Nobody knows , what time we have. Therefore use it wisely, if possible, we never know. ( L.D. Just to add , to the power, you have , my friend. To not drink, after that horrible diagnosis , takes some very hairy balls. Cudos, to that)

My Dr. G.I. doc said that you can not heal the scars. Adventually the scars become too much and the liver ca t function correctly and begins to shut down. I too am living with cirrhosis, without a transplant or a miracle from God, we will Adventually die from the cirrhosis and we are at a much greater threat for liver or pancreas cancer. It is sad, no one wants to face the end of our life. I'm 64, and I still want more years. I just pray and ask the Lord for help. I'm sorry for your pain and heartache 💔

My nephew has been drinking vodka since he was 15 or so. He's not quite 40 now and he's received a pancreas stent, in and out the hospital monthly and STILL continues to drink. His pancreas is digesting itself and he won't stop. Unbelievable. Past two hospital trips is because of blood in stool and nausea and vomiting, along with fluid in his abdomen. He's still in denial even after several rehab attempts and he's still drinking.

I'm so terribly sorry for what you had to go through and what you have to go through. 😔Your videos help me and certainly many others here too! Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. 🩵Lots of love and lots of strength to you and your family!✨💖

Very powerful. Keep up your fight and your fight for others. Your compassion shines through. And I'm sure we all hope only the best for you. Very true, health, family, a feeling of peace are all we really need in this life. Very thing else is fluff. I do hope your getting through to someone out there. This kind of real life talk and encouragement is so need in this crazy world. Thank you for caring and sharing...God bless you and yours..:)) jw

Thank you so much Jim! I really do appreciate it! Thank you for being a part of this community friend! God bless❤❤❤❤

I just found your channel today and have been watching a lot of your episodes, you remind me a lot of myself in the way you are. I have been drinking all my adult life, sometimes everyday, other times every other day. Only beers about 40-60 a week id guess. I am 40 years old now, and my body have a lot of issues. I try to stop many times, sometimes it last a week, one time almost a month. But i always get back to drinking :x You gave me an good reason to stop again. I feel weak letting it slip, you inspired me to keep fighting. God bless you mate! regards from Denmark ❤

I love you too ❤🎉😊

Ģod bless you and Jesus Christ be with you ❤

Please don't give up 😢

By the way, the doctor's lack of tact or sensitivity is pretty terrible practice imo . - the lack of sensitivity violates professional standards in a big way, it was stigmising and discriminatiory

Hi LD - doctors should never put a time limit. No one knows. I’m sure she just wanted to prepare you but there’s no way for anyone to know how much time we have left. It could have caused you to make a rash decision. It makes me so angry when doctors do this. I’m sorry it happened to you. It’s alright to be frank and honest but not to say a definite answer. I’m so glad you’re still here and believe you will be until you’re an old man.

From personal experience most medical professionals are wonderful but I've ran into a few of them that just shouldn't work around people in any capacity. Maybe they could use their skills to do research or something productive

Doctors literally dont know. I wish they would stop giving people timelines because that plays in your head. Many people have outlived the doctors guess time of life! ❤

Hows your liver now ? Compinsated or not? Iv been eating bad and my bilirun went to 1.6 😢 750 bucks to pull 1 tooth because my immune system is so low . Anti biots for infection...pantazole for acid because of antibiots ...we cant handle all these drugs ..gonna kill my liver faster😢

Is 1.6 mg/ml or umol/L? Decompensated means if you show 2 or more signs of liver fibrosis, because of the blood works there are many other things that are taken into account, white blood cells, protein, iron, creatinine, eGFR, INR, platelets, red blood cell size,

LD, I just messaged you on FB. I’m kind of angry at myself because I use to drink just as hard as you and I didn’t get Cirrhosis. I should feel grateful about that, but it just makes me question things like how did I escape that and it’s not fair that LD got it at such a young age…it makes me feel sad and angry at the world.

Thinking back on what the hospital administrator said to you both I can’t help but wonder what had she just seen that changed the date of discharge? Refer lab work? New test results? LD this was a doc on your case or someone else? I’m sorry that happened to you. I have never in my life ever heard of a hospital basically “giving up on a patient?” I don’t believe what she told yall was kind. Did she say “I have some new news about your case, I’m happy your wife is here?” It isn’t right. Of all the years in nursing have I witnessed a doc suggest that. Usually they’ll talk going home with hospice or will u need a nurse if it gets bad. Set you up with home health care?

I was diagnosed with hepatitis b it all started with an headache that never goes away,went on to have my blood pressure checked and it was up there so I was placed on BP drugs but the headache wasn’t going away Fast forward to few months later where I went for my regular check and discovered I had hepatitis B constant sweats,difficulty breathing,sometimes chest pain,and even in high temperature,joint pain..But I started using an herbal medicine that consists of Garlic but don’t know the complete mixture as it was delivered by someone I consider an helper..Well fast forward to now most of the symptoms has dissapeared like the cold,joint aches,headaches and itchiness but I’m still having difficulty passing out stool and simple pain on my abdomen that usually transcends to the right side.. Am I getting better? Or please I need someone’s advice
