Update on hubby
Partner had his colonoscopy today and they gave confirmed he has Bowel cancer now too. How this hasn't been picked up earlier after all tests he's had I really don't know! But how will this affect his liver? Nobody has mentioned his liver since the tumour was found, they were talking about referring

varices
I would like to thank all the people who replied the variety of experiences made me do more research and I found that Carvedilol and omeprazole are just as effective as banding, however I will ask for a further Gastroscopy in a year or two. As I’ve had a serious bleed before probably over reacted. Once

Ibrutinib and Hepatitis B
Hello, my 72yo dad was recently diagnosed and he’s supposed to start treatment with Ibrutinib today. He had HepB as a child and I know that is a major red flag. The doctor is not very transparent about the risks and we’re freaking out. Does anyone have experience and suggestions with this? Also what

A coarse liver?
I had an ultrasound liver scan - as my liver was damaged by taking azaphoprine that treated my ulcerative colitis. After liver biopsy They had diagnosed liver cirrhosis 4 months ago, but now ‘a coarse liver in keeping with chronic liver disease’ What does this mean? Do I still have liver cirrhosis

Any alcohol?
hi all I’ve been diagnosed with NAFLD. I had a fibroscan which showed a reading of 20 so possible borderline cirrhosis. However my gastro consultant said he didnt feel this was entirely accurate and it’s maybe not progressed that far yet, please god. My question is, and I think I know the answer

LFT with High Billi
I mentioned before my wife passed away in Jan 2023 due to renal failure. The One Doctor continues to argue she had decompensated cirrhosis. Her last LFTs were really good, actually beyond AST that bounced around when she got sepsis. They remained within a few points of the levels below. Her INR fluctuated
