Enlarged fatty liver

[WVtwinsmama]

My husband is declining rapidly. Mental status changes most apparent, elevated LFTs, enlarged liver, CT confirmed fatty - no Mets yet, yet the MO suggests it’s likely caused by the disease process. I try to keep myself educated so I can be prepared for next step and treatment courses, but this threw me. Seeking understanding about this. He’s been in the hospital for a week treating the wide array of things (med adjustments dues to the liver, TSH elevated possibly due to radiation, low blood counts, and a second broken bone in 2 months that he’s not strong enough to have fixed. It seems we may be nearing the end of this short 3 year journey, I just need some help understanding this new component involving the liver if it is part of the disease process. Thanks.

I just re-read your post from several months ago. Have they talked about hospice? I wish I had more I could tell you. My heart goes out to you and your family. It sounds so miserable for him.

They have. Home palliative care visits, potentially hospice when we’re ready. While I’m not ready for him to go, I desperately hate seeing him like this.

Hope you are getting a few moments in the sunlight. I’ve been practicing 4 x 4 breathing exercises. Breathe in slowly for four counts, hold for four counts, out for 4 counts and rest for four. Makes me cry sometimes on the outbreath. But can just help me keep my feet on the ground. You can do it together too.

Thank you. Appreciate the advice. Things continue to decline. Even though I know it’s coming, I’m devastated at the thought. 💔
