Hi.i was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in 2007..I don't drink, and alcohol never caused my condition...hep c did ..but I had treatment for this in 2009..I cleared it,but unfortunately it left my liver scarred...back in July 2016 my osephagul varices burst which left me in a terrible state in hospital..lucky to have survived that..since this occurred I had to keep going to the hospital to get the veins banded..but I haven't been back to have a gastroscopy since September 2007...I have to get two ultrasound scans a year to check for tumours...but one of my concerns is,since my veins burst in my osephagus.i have been really poorly...it's really distressing...my spleen is enlarged it's 17cm it should be 14 cm..that is really worrying me because every day I get bad pain on me left hand side...my plateles are very high too...I met my girlfriend 3 years ago...and she is very concerned too...
