I have cirrhosis of the liver. the doc. says stage 4 level 4. i also am waiting for new meds to come out in fall for hep c.life expectancy is....?

100% normal: The meds are going to offer you a 97-100% chance of cure. Please remember this year, while waiting for meds, you need at least four cups of caffeinated coffee to help prevent any further fibrosis while you are waiting.

Depends: how is your liver function? if your docs are suggesting waiting and not going for SIM/SOF now, then things can't be too dire. make sure you get regular screening for liver cancer and esophageal varices. if the HCV gets taken care of, may or may not need a transplant down the line.
