How long for CT Scan results
I had a CT Scan on Monday night and was just wondering how long does it take to get the results back. They were checking my pancreas and all along my abdomen including the right side where I have uncomfort. Also does CT Scan tell you the degree to Liver Fibrosis. I have F3 Fibrosis but have massively

Muscle wasting and other symptoms but normal test results
Hello everyone, I was an alcoholic for over ten years until April 2021 when quit because I was getting abdominal pain and leg jerks at night. After quitting for a few months they went away but then I relapsed five months ago. Since then I have had muscle wasting in my legs, testicular atrophy, weight

The end of the road for my brother
last week I sat holding my 57 year old brother’s hand whilst he passed away from a complication due to alcoholic liver disease. I cared for him for 3 years and it was very hard. Just wanted to say thanks as this site has been useful when I was doing research re transplants.

Big decision. Met surgeon today - he wants to do liver resection. Is this recommended or too risky?
I have one isolated 7mm met in my liver. I met a liver specialist today who feels I am an ideal candidate for liver resection rather than ablation as he thinks it could be minimally invasive. I don’t know what to do - is it risky to come off meds? Is resection surgery too risky? It it necessary to do

Advice about generic medication
Hi, just asking some advice about generic cholestyramine Mylan vs Questran. I tried Mylan end of last year and seemed to have lots of bloating tried 2 sachets as opposed to 1 to try to make things better. Things did not seem to improve and I was having to take Gaviscon every night and not sleeping

When blood tests don't show the reality in lupus
I don't get elevated LFTs, for my
liver
borders on
failure
,so contrary produces very little enzymes and CRP which seems to throw HCPs off. It's a nightmare when we often don't fit the code because our immune system does its own thing.

Alcohol and non alcohol related liver disease
Hi, another question. My consultant said my cirrhosis is due to alcohol. I was a very occasional drinker until recently. I started having a glass of wine with my meal at weekends or when dining with friends. This led to a glass every evening with my meal, then half a bottle each time. Eventually I ended

Dieting with Cirrhosis
Hi I have early stage Cirrhosis and need to lose some weight. Quite a lot actually. I'm considering the Keto diet. Does anybody know if this is okay for someone with alcohol related cirrhosis. Thanks for any help you can offer

Liver Biopsy
Hi all, I was finally able to se a liver specialist outside my region. Unfortunately it didn't go well. She made it quite clear that she wasn't thrilled seeing someone out of her region (i'm in Gatineau, Quebec and the liver specialist is in Montreal, Quebec so about a 3 hour drive). Without getting

Latest bloods, advice on B12 and Levo dose please?
Please don't say anything that will make me fear kidney or
liver
failure
or something worse, I'm struggling anyway and often frightened about my symptoms! (both liver & kidney function were fine tested in May). Should I be worrying about this B12?

Other than sleep issues no other noticeable symptoms right now. Afraid of cirrhosis and cancer. Going to see a doctor in 2 weeks. My question

Diabetes and liver damage
Hi again sorry for the barrage of questions. Alongside thinking I have cirrhosis I have also recently been diagnosed with diabetes. My question is - will I find it much harder to bring my diabetes under control if I have a damaged liver?

Follow up on my liver cancer HCC
Hi all, I have been on the craziest rollercoaster ride since January 2022. Had resection May 28, 2021. My cancer came back 8 months after surgery. Was referred to have a liver transplant evaluation. My case looked very promising to get a liver. Had to do a lot of prep including testing and interviews
