Hi Ems. It depends upon how badly the liver is scarred. If it's not too bad and was diagnosed early, she could maintain a good level of health if she watches her diet, loses weight (gently) and gets plenty of exercise.

If, like me, it was caught too late to do anything about, then a liver transplant would be the option ( had mine in January and now feeling great!).

I tried my hardest to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and had good success for about 16 months. But I couldn't arrest the progress of the disease.

It would be best if she questions the docs at the hospital, and asks to see a dietician. They will be able to advise you better than me.

Hope all goes well, and wish your wife well for me.

Martin.
