Hi all, I wondered if any one can help , I know you are not medically trained but maybe call upon your own test.

When I had scan and bloods to check for Liver cancers my AFP = 5 is this normal range, hope you are all keeping well. XxπŸ§šβ€β™€οΈπŸ§šβ€β™€οΈ

Hi sorry I don't know I could ask my friend when she gets in if you want

Hello,

Your result is within the normal lab range. It is a useful benchmark for your medical team and allows them to see the trend in the future as you undergo your routine screening for liver cancer.

Hi,bless you it's bloody horrible,the very last one I had I felt like an animal been put to sleep,just laid down,mouth open,mouth guard in,and here we go,not so much of a roller coaster,and you always have the nurse saying "are you alright" my reply" Sorry I don't speak with my mouth full!! Not nice at all,but they discovered more ulcers in upper GI tract,so that's why I'm pushing a bit as they say it's all alcohol and not the aspirin,Long story,keep in touch,Would speak but bet you have a sore throat.Take care,Oh the second time I bit the plastic mouth guard so hard it broke my bridge work,So a nice bill from dentist,when I can Bl....Dy see one.X
