Any thoughts please?

Back in mid July, I saw a consultant who told me I had cirrohsis, (alcohol related). My tests from a scan in March had been 'lost' or something similar. I have never been informed on the results of the scan, just that I have cirrohisis. Subsequently I have had blood tests and a gastroscopy. I have the results of the gastroscopy, which was completed to D2. I have no varices, but do have to repeat the test in early September, I think because of bleeding in lower oesohaguys and gastic erosions

The diagnoses was Hiatus hernia, oesophagitis/reflux and ringed appearance? eosinophilic oesophagitis, stomach erosions. I was prescribed Omeprazole 20mg and a test by gp for H.pylori (negative). I have not suffered from heartburn, but have suffered from difficulty swallowing.

My questions are: shd I be asking to see the results of my original in March? Does a Gastroscopy go beyond D2 and somehow get to yr Liver? If so what does it show?

Fortunately I gave up drinking on 2 May 2017 and have subsequently managed to put on a stone, which I needed to. Still ache all over, my joints are serious problem, but still trying to ride the bike and walk. Thanks for any help

hi scamp, well done on the booze its not easy. the only real advice i can give you is educate yourself. about your condition, read the british liver trust website or anywhere to get factual advice
