What happens after cirhossis?

Assuming 1 completely turns their life around, doesn't drink and lives an overall healthy lifestyle? I'm just curious and was thinking about that today? Do you just sit back and wait on a liver transplant which I hear is hard to get anyway. Do you just slowly deteriorate over time? Possible liver cancer?

I was just thinking to myself today. I know people that have cirhossi are prob. the last to stop drinking but if someone was diagnosed today with it and never drank again. Just curious. No, to my knowledge, I do not have this.

And no i am not asking for medical advice. I am sure this has happened before but everything you read, cirhossis is the point to where the end is near.

Back in the day, when my jackass Dr. thought I had cirhossis based off of physical exam. had blood tests and MRI, he said everything was normal except slightly elevated bilirubin...But I also remember about cirhossis, his exact words were "its not exactly a death sentence"
