I've had it confirmed. I've got HCC.

So following on from my previous posts, I've been told the images on the MRI have shown HCC. It's currently a single, small but treatable area. I already have a shunt (my 2nd one) and I'm already in a transplant clinic for monitoring but not on the list or had assessment.

My consultant has said when the full report cones through he'll talk to me about treatment (that should be this week) and he mentioned before the results that we could be looking at transplant again.

I have budd chiari and get mild ascities, but not always! I don't have full cirrhosis but my vessels to my liver are damaged caused by the budd chiari.

I've had diagnosed budd chiari for 16 years now, a tips for almost 1 year and everything was going fine until my bloods showed an elevated AFP score during routine 3 monthly bloods.

Feel so sad. 😔

I am so sorry you are going through this on top of everything else. It sucks but the good news is it sounds as though they have caught it early and even if you do need a transplant there are loads of success stories of people making wonderful recoveries and going on to live full and happy lives.
