Hello All,
Hope all are doing good in this group. I am writing this on behalf of my mom. Recently she experienced some stomach pain and our gastroenterology doc. suggested for a CT Scan & Endoscopy and below are the results
CT Scan results :
1. Chronic parenchymal disease of the liver with features of portal hypertension
Endoscopy results :
Esophageal varices Grade 2
Our doc. suggested to take Cardivas 18.5 mg for next 2 months followed by USAB after 2 months.
I am bit worried that varices will happen because of problems in liver like cirrhosis etc. Please let me know if portal hypertension and Varices are treatable, and it can be cured in a point of time (1 - 2 years)
Note : She is diagnosed with Breast cancer from 2011 and she's currently under hormonal therapy (Femara - 2.5 mg) and have type 2 diabetes.
