Hi there, thanks for your message i did intend on writing something other thsn HI but i pressed the send button too soon! 😶☺

I'm sorry to hear about your condition when were you diagnosed? I've got cirrhosis of the liver I was diagnosed a year ago - i've got an excellent gastroenterologist consultant and i've managed to get my liver compensated. It was a huge shock to receive that diagnosis, i'm only 37. In September2016 I had felt generally unwell I went to the drs on the Monday after work, he did some blood tests but also commented that my eyes looked slightly yellow I had noticed this and I thought it was jaundice.

I got a call at 8am the next day asking me to go to the Drs immediately the blood tests had shown a very high marker - this marker was the one that can suggest ovarian cancer, I was referred as an urgent under the 2 week cancer detection target, I had intrusive tests which thankfully were negative. Drs were still scratching their heads and they now thought it could be possible pancreatic cancer - again I had tests which were negative.

Drs moved on to my liver and they confirmed I had cirrhosis which was a huge shock and I've just been doing as much as i can for my liver - its now compensated but when I was admitted to hospital my liver had entered the decomposition phase and i was now showing signs of encephalopathy i've forgot the full term but basically toxins were entering my head and along with morphine i was out of it. Thats my story anyway sorry if i've blabbed on!

You've done really well getting your liver back to compensated. When do you next see your consultant? Please take care.
