Just when it's now safe to go out, a note of caution.
All those who have received a
liver
transplant
(like myself) or who have a suppressed immune system will know how important skin protection is at this time of year. It can feel like we are having to doubly protect ourselves. Having got through the COVID pandemic.

Caring for Dad with liver cancer........
My Dad is 82, and was diagnosed in August this year. He'd been unwell for most of the year, then caught Covid in June and thankfully this led to some blood tests from his GP. He then collapsed and got taken into hospital where he was diagnosed with liver cancer. He has got 3 metastatic tumours, and

Unsure how to proceed
so first , I’m in the US not UK so every single little thing medical is $$$. I’ve had pain in the liver area off and on honestly about 3 years now . More towards the back and it’s not really pain as much as heaviness feeling or fullness idk if that makes sense. The last few months seems like it’s getting

Listed but improving UKELD
This is a bit of a strange one. Partner has decompensated cirrhosis, listed about 4 weeks ago. We cried with relief when he was listed - he has been so poorly and had a heart scare (that turned out to be nothing when investigated) so were SO SO grateful to be listed. However UKELD has improved slowly

Moderate Fatty Liver with normal liver enzymes
I was diagnosed with NAFLD in 2018 while undergoing gallbladder removal surgery. I had been thin most of my life and had only “packed on the pounds” in the last 4-5 years, and wasn’t overweight at the time of the surgery, so she thought it was odd to see my liver so fatty. My PCP sent me for ultrasounds
