Live

[Liver54]

My husband had liver cirrhosis he was first told this in2013 he had ascites and was drained on two occasions then Medes controlled it he stopped drinking straight away after over two years without any drink he was told he had a tumour on his liver which is a complication of cirrhosis. He was told he had two years to live as the Timor was surrounding the main blood supply into the liver so was inoperable he has two treatments of Tace which is a chemo drug put through the groin straight into the liver very painful nothing worked so after nine months they did another treatment and biopsy in those months he started drinking again thinking he was going to die two weeks after the biopsy we were told the Timor was not cancerous he was hooked on drink again as they also said he didn't have cirrhosis. Well clearly he did as fluid built up again and he was drained three times in six weeks he stopped drinking straight away and to be honest would never have started again but for the wrong diagnosis. The week before Christmas 2016 he died in front of me at our home he just feel asleep l tried to resuscitate him called ambulance but he was gone a post Mortem said he died of cirrhosis we were devistated and eight weeks on are still in shock please don't drink in excess my children have lost there father he was 54 and me lm a widow now and lost without him

God bless you! What I am learning is the Docotors and PA its science at its best. Its a bit of guessing what is wrong based on our labs. Along with what we tell our Dr's. Sorry for your loss, remember you had a true love, hold on to those good memories it will help thru this most difficult time! I am sending prayers for you and your family! I have been told many different things from different Dr's so b it's sorting through and living with hope.

Take care of yourself and the kids, as U know you will/can!
