Alpha feta protein

So relieved - hepatologist tells me my alpha feta protein has always been slightly elevated and is not a cancer marker unless it steadily climbs. Best not Google and scare ourselves eh 😂

She also did a fibroscan and said it was normal (3.8). On cloud 9.

Very happy for you! That fibroscan score is awesome. It is even lower that average non pbc person.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. Yes I even asked are you sure I have PBC but she was certain I have.

So happy for you, that must be such a relief as, I know you’ve been waiting a while, and a good fibroscan result as well. Brilliant news.

I haven't done anything to deserve my good luck. I only wish it was the same for all of us
