Are you under the care of a doctor? There are very good treatments available for Hep B - although it can't be cured they can often get your viral load under control to prevent further progression. I see you are in Belgium so I presume if the worst came to the worst and your liver did deteriorate then Liver Transplantation would potentially be an option so all is not lost.

This is a link for information from the Hepatitis B foundation.

Further information from the British Liver Trust about Hep B at:- britishlivertrust.org.uk/in...

& regarding Hepatitis D :- You can only get hepatitis D if you already have hepatitis B, as hepatitis D needs the hepatitis B virus to survive in the body. It is usually spread through blood-to-blood contact or sexual contact. It’s possible to become infected with both hepatitis B and D at the same time, or to become infected with hepatitis D at a later date. Having both hepatitis B and D is called co-infection, and chronic (long-term) infection with both increases the risk of developing serious liver diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. If you have been diagnosed with hepatitis B you should be tested for hepatitis D with a separate blood test that looks specifically for anti-hepatitis D antibodies in your blood. If these are found, it means you have been exposed to the hepatitis D virus. There is no vaccine for hepatitis D but if you have been vaccinated against hepatitis B this also protects you from hepatitis D.

Hopefully your doctors will move you onto a treatment that works for you.

All the best, Katie

Hi,

Katie has already kindly shared our website information on Hepatitis B and D above. It is very important to be under the care of a liver specialist who can advise you.

We are limited with the information we can share as it is UK specific and I see you are based in Belgium, but we hope you can discuss your concerns with your specialist and they can help you.

Do take care

There is a combination therapy, for myelofibrosis that a friend of mine has been on for 96 months now. She is doing well, with almost no sign of the disease. It is Jakafi plus Vidaza
