I have included a link to British Liver Trust information on cirrhosis.

Sorry to hear of the progression of your condition. I recall you posted here about 3 years ago when you were diagnosed with fatty liver and fibrosis. I trust that you stopped drinking completely as advised back then. As I recall you asked about non alcohol related fatty liver disease too perhaps thinking you had both going on.

It's a pity that it has progressed but you need to keep working at stopping further progression.

Now you have a diagnosis of cirrhosis you need to be having scans every 6 months and blood tests including AFP and hopefully see you specialist about 6 monthly too. You now need to be aware of the side effects that cirrhosis can bring so learn as much as you can so that you can look out for changes.

BLT page on cirrhosis is very good :- britishlivertrust.org.uk/in...
