Hi. Just wanted to find out if diagnoised with cirrohsis, which Doctors have said is possibly due to immune system problems or decades of taking powerful arthritis drugs and having chemo (but who is also a drinker of alcohol )... with LFT's nothing for Dr s to be worried about - is it possible to reverse the cirrhosis........... is it possible to live a normal life span or is it a definate death sentance ?

As far as I understand, and I'm no doctor, you cannot reverse cirrhosis but you can slow down the progression of it with lifestyle changes and medication (depending on what is causing it). Take care of yourself and try and keep a positive attitide. X
