Advice vanishing bile duct.
My nan had suffered some liver issues due to taking an anti biotic. Alot of scans and tests later a biopsy revealed vanishing bile duct syndrome and a 70% functioning liver. She has now been put on UDCA tablets which have made her very ill. What if she isn't able to take the tablets? I just like

Recent diagnosis & upcoming hysterectomy - what should I expect?
Hello, this is my first post and I am so thankful to have found this group 😄 In the last 5 months, I have experienced surgical menopause, been diagnosed with endo and adenomyosis; and am due to have a hysterectomy in just under a fortnight's time. I only discovered that I had endometriosis 5 months

Surgical menopause - HRT and cutting patches
HeyI had a oophorectomy in June, struggled to get the right balance of estrogen. Finally put on the 100mg patches which have made a difference in terms of I'm not a complete emotional wreck and can function with life better. But I have gained so much weight, I've gone up nearly two dress sizes since

Gallbladder Removal Anxiety
After a few years of off and on stomach pain I finally had an ultrasound that reveals gallstones. I have a consultation with a surgeon and I am freaking out. I know that this surgery is pretty common but I am someone with high anxiety and occasional panic attacks, I've never had surgery and this is a

Insights for Pain on right side and back ribs - GERD and non-alcoholic fatty liver (possible bile ducts issues post-gallbladder removal)
I’ve been sorting a problem with GERD (acid reflux) leading to oesophagitis. Also had an ultrasound to check bile ducts as I’ve had my gallbladder removed after disease in 2013. Was told I have mild non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, apparently not unusual in middle age. I couldn’t continue with the

post surgery FLOT decision!
Hi everyone we’ve got an appointment with the oncologist tomorrow to discuss whether or not to have the 4 cycles of FLOT. My husband was staged as T4a N1 or 2 and M0 and it was touch and go whether he could have the surgery. We were told because the tumour was so large and bulky he’d go for a trial dissection

another CT scan with contrast
hello, I did eventually go to the ER because of my stomach pains. A CT scan with contrast was conducted on my chest, abdomen and pelvis but no serious emergency was detected and I was sent home. The build up of stool remains unrelenting despite low food intake and mostly liquid. This is a summary

Turns out a combination of issues resulting in NAFLD and a shredded
gallbladder
required a
removal
of the latter. It’s a bit of a whole new world trying to figure out what to do next to ensure I can keep my liver in the long run. looking to learn and make changes.

length of time for biopsy results
Hi, had a partial lung lobectomy and lymph node removal, was told biopsy results would be back in 7-10 days. It’s now been 41 days and I’ve heard nothing. When I contact various people I’m just being told this length of timeframe is not uncommon.. this does not sound right to me… Anyone else had to wait

ARTIFICIAL LIVER
Good news , maybe we don’t have to wait for a liver transplant after all. I didn’t realise that machines existed that can carry out the function of the liver, at this stage they are external like kidney dialysis. Would think you have to hooked up permanently as the liver is always working.

Women, ADHD Surgical menopause and memory loss
Hello, New to the forum and looking to learn more about the subject listed above. It seems that among the medical professionals I've seen ADD is overlooked, as is the impact of the loss of estrogen. I am scared that this is my new normal. I'm wondering. 1. Have any of you experienced worsening ADD

Bowel irrigation (Not "colonic irrigation")
I have obstructed defecation (anismus) which has not responded to biofeedback etc. The next step is at home bowel irrigation and I am just waiting for an appointment with the bowel nurse to issue me with the equipment. It would be helpful to hear of anyone`s experience with this. I don`t know which

High GGT Level
Morning All, so my GGT level is now up to 136 & my GP has requested a liver scan, I’m still waiting for the appointment. I’ve been virtually teetotal for 5 years, just the occasional drink on special occasions. I do/have taken a lot of paracetamol & codeine due to headaches from a previous brain operation
