How To Treat Bleeding Esophageal Varcies?
Approximately, how long does a person with bleeding esophagul
varcies { i get banded every 6 months religeously} have to live?
I've had one really bad episode of ruptured varcies, and about three or four other bleeds in the last 5 years. I did all the testing for a transplant, and them went to prison for 6 months, and when I called the transplant center the doctor told me he woould not put me on the list because my life was too unstable. I have a probation officer I have to report to every month, and they watch me like a hawk, how is that unstable? Anyway, he won't put me on the list , because of this, is that right for him to do that? He more or less just signed my death sentence. I have a 13 year old daughter to live for, and I don't think what he's done is fair. Coould you answer these questions for me Please???
Thank You for your time and concern in this matter.
Sincerely,
Lori I am 48 yrs old, I weigh about 180, and I have alot of medical problems , most of them very severe.
