Wish I could help, but I myself got diagnosed with cirrhosis 3 months ago and been on a roller-coaster since.

I am so sorry to hear about your anxiety which is totally understandable. From your username I guess your liver problems are down to drinking. The British Liver Trust has an online chat group for people with alcohol related liver disease and a wonderful helpline run by their nurses. They may be able to help ease your concerns. I wish you all the best and there are some very positive stories on here.

Colonoscopy has come back okay other than a polyp so that's good news

Thats great your labs are within range, usually people with cirrhosis have low or low normal platelets but your labs are fine, good job!
