Update on my liver cancer
I have just had a telephone call from my Liver Consultant. He gave me an update from first being told I would receive radiotherapy, this has now changed. I have to have a repeat CT scan and an MRI scan. Once I have these they are now looking at operating on the part of the liver where the cancer is

Dear all,I know many of you are having a tough time and my thoughts are with you. I am a bit confused about a consultation I had on Saturday (of all days). In 2019 I was told I had cirrhosis and had maximum two years to live so from that day I stopped drinking and I was so lucky to be able to do it on

Should something be done with a “moderately high” ALP?
Good moring! I had my bloods drawn last week and both ALT and AST went back to normal. My GGT came down but not normal, and ALP stayed the same as three months ago at 177 It was previously 385. (here, the ULN is 122). I have been on Urso for nine months, but only on the optimal dose for four months

Thursday's Thoughts
I always try to chat about something I feel is important for everyone to know about. Today I want to go to something very basic - your Urso dosage.
1. Urso is the proven first line treatment for PBC and should be started as soon as PBC is suspected
2. The dose is

Deleted post with link to AF outcomes
I just wrote a reply to a now deleted post that linked to an external site giving a review of AF and its long-term outcomes. It was from a company called "Medtronic", a maker of medical equipment and other materials. The web page it linked looked like it was a PowerPoint presentation aimed at health

ELF score
My husband is a 44M, 6'1, 20.5 stone (was 21.5st, recently lost a stone in a couple of months). He'd been feeling off since beginning of the year. Began getting neck and shoulder pain, saying he must have slept wrong but it's happening far too frequently for that to be the case. I did a urine dipstick

liver enzymes
I was overweight and drinking had high liver enzymes ast/alt ratio .5. I lost weight and stopped drinking enzymes returned to normal in 6-8 weeks. Was diagnosed with nafld as the probable cause. Does returning liver enzymes mean it is resolved
