Camille, you've had a liver transplant. Yes. A really big deal. It is. How did your liver end up needing replacing? I was suffering from a currently untreatable liver disease, PSC. It's short for primary sclerosing cholangitis. And some people, me included, end up needing a liver transplant. And over the years, my liver deteriorated, my disease progressed, and I was really unwell. And doctors decided that it was the right time to do the transplant. And the primary sclerosing chlorangitis is associated with other diseases, isn't it? Yes, I believe 70% of ESC patients also have ulcerative colitis. Yeah, that's right. So there's a strong link between the two diseases. Thank you.
