A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nobody can say for sure but the one qualified to give you the best answer is his treating Doctor.ALC is certainly of poor prognosis, progressive&needs a transplant. Regardless of the life expectancy, you should organize the Power of Attorney,Advance Directive,resuscitation status distribution of assets,hospice plans etc.For the hernia, Get a supportive truss that may help relieve the symptoms.
