I’ve had SO many tests, scans etc, and everything is normal? Yet they keep coming back raised. I take 1.25mg bisoprolol but doctors are certain

I'm so scared....could someone please help?
Hi. I'm so glad I stumbled on this site and I'm hoping that someone could be kind enough to reach out to me? I'm so very, very scared, and it's all my own fault. I have suffered from an anxiety disorder for 15 - 20 years and used wine to cope....and lots of it. I was diagnosed with compensated cirrhosis

Radio Frequency oral therapy for liver cancer
New FDA approved home therapy for liver growths; small antenna that is kept in the mouth for 1 hour daily. The science is radio frequencies that interact with cancer cells and keep them controlled.

Hi everyone, back in December I saw my GP and had blood tests done for a different health issue (cardiology referral), and he phoned me up to say that my liver emzymes were high and he was putting in for an emergency referral to hepatology and a liver scan. Next week I was asked to come in for a second

Alcoholic cirrhosis Hepatic encephalopathy
Partner is currently coming round from being sedated due to Hepatic encephalopathy. The doctors say he is also withdrawing from alcohol. The upsetting thing is one of the first words he said to me when I went to visit was to tell me to f off.. I've since been back to visit and it's mostly abuse I get

Liver Cancer
I was diagnosed with liver cancer by my consultant yesterday (Friday 31st May 2024). They are going to take a liver biopsy in a couple of weeks as I am going on holiday next Monday. Then once this is done I will be having radiography. I am going to be positive and hopefully fight this all the way

Hi have Chorrosis of the liver and have been good up until today. I have felt discomfort in my left side and it goes up the left side of my back to my neck.

Nicotine…… a complete no-brainer.
Update most don’t know about nicotine, you should. Read my previous post if you’re wondering about it. I’ll soon be off c/l. I have experimented with nicotine and it seems to work better than the meds. My sense of smell is returning. I’m smelling things that I wish I couldn’t smell, lol. I forgotten
