Sudden Lymph Node Enlargement
I am a 58 year old female and was diagnosed a year ago. I have great bloodwork and have been without symptoms until a month ago & now have an enlarged lymph node that will require surgical removal for biopsy. The PET scan results are “worrisome for advanced lymphoma” and its hard not to mentally go

Organ Donation
Hi, I would like some advice / opinions if possible. I would like to enrol in the live kidney donation programme. My only concern is 'what if my brother needs it'. He was hospitalised with decompensated cirrhosis in 2019 and was given a 20% chance of survival. He miraculously recovered and is now compensated

Failed Ascites Drain with Decomensated liver Cirrhosis - Now what?
Hi. My husband is in a hospital with Liver failure and kidneys have also failed but been filtered. He has bad ascites and is struggling to breath, you can hear him struggling and his breathing is gurgly. They have tried to drain his ascites three times but he is haemorrhaging each time, so no drain

Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis?
Hi, is it possible to experience Hepatic Encephalopathy with F1 Fibrosis? Here's my backstory.. I'm ashamed to admit I was a daily drinker for approx 20 years (I'm now in my mid forties) as I used it to self-medicate to help with anxiety (terrible idea I know). I must have been averaging around 80 units

Open up to conversations: Hear from a transplant surgeon
In order to feel empowered and safe, whilst navigating our own heath journeys, it is also important we remember we are being looked after by humans - the consultants, nurses, surgeons, anaesthetist - we are all in this human experience together. You may find this conversation with kidney transplant

Helpless.
My brother is an alcoholic, his liver has been severely damaged as a result and we nearly lost him last year. He’s been told he’s not to drink any alcohol but after about 6-8 weeks after he came out of hospital he started drinking again. He lives in London and I live in South Wales, I’ve only seen him

Feeling a bit stressed
I’m in the stressful position of selling my house and buying a new house closer to my family. The end point will be worth it, but I’m in a difficult chain and I’m worried it’s going to fall through. The sale is the result of a long term relationship breakdown which makes it even more messy as my ex partner

Ultrasound and repeat fibroscan
Hi All, just an update. I had my ultrasound on my liver and I have been told it was clear, as were my blood tests. I had already had a fibroscan a few weeks ago, after not drinking alcohol for 4 weeks, and it read 7.5kpa. I advised the consultant at this meeting that I had drank a lot of water and
