Hi you lovely people.
Firstly just wanted to say thank you so much for your wise words and support it has really helped me get through the past month of diagnosis. I haven’t heard from my liver consultant which is disgusting and do call / leave messages with his secretary but just get told ‘he will be in touch when he has spoken to the liver specialists in Birmingham and had the hospital team meeting’.
Anyway, my liver diagnosis was discovered after my blood platelets kept dropping. I was on azathoprine for 10 years to treat ulcerative colitis which worked but unbeknown to me until now has been causing liver cirrhosis. Anyway since off these meds my platelets were 85 (low) but now getting higher which is encouraging
I really hope this means my liver won’t get any worse. On Friday I’m having a ‘camera down my throat’ to check for bleeding - hope all ok as I’m dreading this .
Debbie
