I'm new here

[L4LSarah]

Hi, I'm Kelvin and I answer the telephone helpline (08000 743494) for the liver charity Liver4Life. liver4life.org.uk/.

I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C in 2010, liver cancer in April 2012 caused by the hepatitis, and underwent 2 liver transplants in December 2012 before clearing the virus at the third attempt with the new generation of direct acting anti-viral drugs in 2014.

At Liver4Life we have a lot of knowledge and experience about liver conditions and I personally have a lot of relevant experience as a hep c patient which I'm happy to share this with anyone who wants information, support or help.

Please take a look at our website (details above) and I'm also available Monday to Friday between 10.00 am and 4 pm on the helpline (08000 743494) if you have any questions about you or your family members diagnosis or treatment.
