Hi and welcome Becks,

We are sorry to read how poorly your Dad is.

Is he under the care of a liver team? Can he/ your mum/you consider contacting his doctors to get his symptoms assessed?

If you would like a supportive chat our nurse led helpline is open 10am to 3pm on 0800 652 7330

Take care :)
