Getting nervous but for what for ??

Maybe by writing this, I will get the answers myself.

I have a telephone appointment with my Gastro/Hepatologist tomorrow afternoon (1st 6 months review)

I am now at loss as to what to ask him, plus I am not so good at talking on the phone.

I know he will go through me with my bloods which have improved, I do have a MRI follow up scan booked for Monday because of liver cancer being in the family. I'm not too sure if he will offer a ultrasound or fibroscan. I just want to keep an eye on what is happening to me and if my fibroscan score has come down. 1st and only one was pretty high. I am just about to start writing what I should ask.

With all of your vast experiences, please could you advise me how to approached this, and what to ask, without looking stupid.

It is my 1 and only chance, I know for at least 6 months or a year even, before I get to talk with him again.

Thanks in advance.

I have enzyme readings in the 300 to 400 range and feel awful much of the time. Itching and fatigue are the worst of my symptoms. I would ask him/her what you should be eating as this is very important. It is very stressful living with this every day so be kind to yourself. Good Luck!
