My 9yr old son was diagnosed with sclerosing cholangitis and ulcerative cholangitis last month and we don't know what quite to expect.

He went from 4.5 stone down to about 3stone in 6 months and has just been release from the RVI newcastle after having a really bad flare up. Can anyone shed a little light on what we should expect and future things to come. He's also just started a 3 months course of steroids alongside his normal medication, what side affects should I watch out for. Thanks we're feeling very confused! (and a bit lost)
