Having the worst genotype of Hepatitis C, i have the option to get a new liver with a different genotype?

Q: i have hep C, the worst genotype, my doctor has asked me if i would consider recieving a new liver with a hep C but with a different genotype. what should i do?

A: I had a liver transplant, but I don’t have hep C. Mine was from a biliary disease. Everyone that needs a transplant has to do some soul searching as to whether or not to get a transplant ASAP or wait awhile. I think a lot depends on how sick you are as to whether or not you would want to accept a compromised liver. I had mine done ASAP because I was afraid that if I waited around, I would get too sick to remain listed or that no liver would be available when I really needed it, when I was at deaths door so to speak. But I did tell myself that I would only accept a healthy liver as long as I was not too sick. I would have accepted a compromised liver if forced to do so such as nothing else was available and I was going to die in a very short period of time.This is something that you will have to decide for yourself. It’s too bad there are not enough organs to go around so everyone can get a healthy liver, but not enough people donate and this is the only option for some. I waited 18 months on the list for mine. When I was diagnosed, they told me my liver was only functioning at 10%. I was sick, but not like a lot of people that are really sick.
