No to surgery

[Grank]

The portal vein wedge pressure test result today was 19 and so Grank is not having surgery.

Hi, I'm absolutely gutted for you! Have they given you any kind of plan for other treatment?

Hi,

Sorry to hear that. Will be hoping that there will be a plan to help soon.

Best wishes,

Poor Grank, it was his birthday as well! He was told his pressure test results were 19 and the aim was a result of 10 or under for surgery. Well apparently his result was 10 and Stage 1 cirrhosis (it’s not plain sailing as other factors may have to come into play) but he was told on Monday it was 19. I think the moral in this is to wait until outcomes have been discussed at MDT meetings, rather than asking for results before they’ve been verified and discussed by the professionals. We are delighted his case is being fast tracked so a decision can be made and a treatment plan put in place. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your concern.

Hi, it's good at least that he is being fast tracked for treatment. Sending my very best wishes to you. Thinking of you both. Alf
