You will live till you are 82.

Seriously....who knows. Get proper medical tests (MRI,Ultrasound,bloods etc) to assess the state of your liver. Do everything you can to stay well and to help your liver re-generate. I asked the Dr how long I had to live 18 months ago and he told me he thought about 6 months. So go figure..... and while you are doing that try to get the most out of every day that you have.
