Possible HCC

[Roy1955]

Diagnosed with cirrosis 42 months ago, no symptoms except tiredness and Child Pugh A Meld 6 still.

Was heavy drinker but quit right away and not touched a drop since, Private Dr (proffessor) added that NAFLD was likely pushing Alcohol cirrhosis forward 2 years ago but because alcohol had been mentioned my health insurance refused to pay out.

Within 6 months of quiting bloods all went back to normal but Latest bloods have all risen above normal and the one for cancer has also risen to what Dr says is a few points above normal.

Ultrasound was clear but Dr says possibly somethings hiding so wants an MRI.

I have put on a lot of lockdown weigh so Dr thinks that might be contributing.

My question is can this be just a blip or is it always the start of a downward spiral into invasive treatment?

Depression kicking in big time.

Hopefully Roy it is just a blip. Get back to healthy eating and exercise to lose the lockdown weight then see how you feel. Best of luck try not to let it get you down. Think positive, face that demon and start attacking it today to get back to where you were.

Take care. Best wishes
