Recompensated Liver. Safe to travel.

I had my telephone consultation yesterday with my liver nurse and had some reassuring news. I asked her if I was safe to travel abroad and she said that my liver had recompensated and was functioning normal and that my bloods and scans are normal range and they have no features of concern. It will be 2 years next week when I was diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis (jaundice, no other symptoms) and had spent 1 day in hospital for tests. No alcohol and cigarettes since been diagnosed. I have been told that through my hard work I should be proud of my achievements and they are really pleased with my progress. Ive lost 4 stone through healthy eating and exercise and I'm feeling great. Sorry for the long post but I am just trying to state that it is worth the time and effort to achieve your goals and you can still live a normal life with cirrhosis but only if you believe it yourself.

Thanks for reading and All the best on your journeys.

This is amazing! Great job! I am reading more and more of these testimonies, and wonder if there is ANY common theme involved here.
