Hi Gents, Well, it's been a crazy 4 years, I remember when I first posted on here. I think membership was under 3K here I think it is like 16k now I believe my treatment options are running out. I had my 3rd channel TURP on 9/21/2021 and put on

Rising Bilirubin
Good morning. I have stage 4 prostate cancer and since March, have been taking a drug called Zytiga (Abiraterone) which has been known to affect the liver. A recent blood test shows my Bilirubin to be 24umol/L when the normal range should be 0-20. A month ago, it was 19umol/L. I am therefore concerned

Spider nevi central spot?
Hi, As per previous posts I'm anxious about my liver, with good cause as a previous heavy drinker (50 units a week , much reduced last few years). A couple of years ago I had a liver MRI -fine. So my question - I've noticed some red veins at bottom of nose. Are these always spider nevi? I can't see

blood group and being listed
my partner is at the very early stage of transplant assessment and today our transplant co-ordinator has told him that based on his current bloods and his blood group (A) she expects that if he were to be listed for transplant it would be a wait of weeks rather than months. He is actually not hugely

Cirrhosis/Sprionolactone/testosterone
I know. Bit of an odd one!!! Hi all! I’d just be interested to know if anyone has had any (male) hormone issues surrounding cirrhosis and/or the use of Spironolactone. Or perhaps it’s just me?! About a month before diagnosis, (I couldn’t see them because of my swollen belly), It felt like my testicles

How long have your liver enzymes been elevated?
Mine have been in the 40-45 range for the past 2 years before that 70 and 60 for 2-3 years then periods of normal right now ALT 37 and AST is 32 some scales would say this is normal but the lab I went to puts them elevated by 3 points but I’ve been dealing with elevated liver enzymes since 2014

Helpful article for those who love someone who is dying of alcoholic liver disease
Hello, everyone — This article might be helpful for anyone who is watching a loved one die from alcohol addiction disease, and it’s subsequent effect on the liver. It’s stunningly honest and frank, and faces head-on some issues that are difficult to talk about. I hope it might give support and a feeling

Alcohol free drinks
Over the weekend I went to a neighbours barbecue. I didn’t want to appear antisocial, so went for an hour. I said I was off alcohol. I didn’t go into detail...I gave up alcohol over a year ago due to liver disease, and I’m pleased to report that I’m well. I enjoyed my drink...it was a bit different.
