About twenty two years ago when I was thirty I went to get a physical because it seemed like the responsible thing to do. I was feeling great and running several miles a day. After the physical was completed my doctor said that I had elevated liver enzymes and ordered a liver biopsy. It came back showing I had some slight liver damage and I was informed I was at stage 1 of Hepatitis C, my doctor suggested to start a treatment called Interferon therapy. I was told that I would have flu-like symptoms but I should still be able to go to work. I agreed to take 3 million units 3 times a week for six months. I thought it was just a small virus. I didn't realize my life was about to change... forever.

The Transplant Experience
Hi I'm Clayton, I recently had a liver transplant and wow what a life changing experience. I found the experience to be... well lets just say, I under estimated what it took to get a liver transplant. The end result is I'm feeling fantastic and grateful to be alive but it took a lot of resources to get me too this point. In effort to give back in some way I felt driven to share my experience with anyone that has an interest in this journey. Just start at the first article.
