My transplant journey is a rough story concerning my life-long battle with #hepc , six treatments, and six plus years in End-Stage-Liver Disease.

This story isn’t about me, per se, but about the circumstance that I find myself in, along with so many of my peers.

In the last few weeks, I finally managed to graduate with my Masters' in Public Health despite a slew of obstacles.

My life-long journey with #hepatitisc ended shortly after transplant, on my sixth treatment in 2017.

But as a #Transplant recipient and Hep C Survivor, the fight is never over. As a patient my experience continues, as an advocate my experience only grows and fuels the fight to eliminate #hepc .
