The liver function blood tests that were taken at clinic yesterday, Monday, have come back with the ALT (one of the inflammation markers) spiking at a shocking 660. (It was in the 20s' until December when it crept up into the 70's. So I have to pack a bag and get myself into Salford Royal hospital asap, which is going to be first thing Wednesday morning now, as I cant get organised before then. Dr Al warned me I might be in 'for a few days', as I think he wants to get a biopsy done while I'm there undergoing tests.
That's all I know for now.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS - a diagnosis and treatment of Hepatocellular carcinoma (primary liver cancer) diagnosed August 2010, presumed caused by 30+ years of chronic hepatitis B. And a search for how to be healthy living with cirrhosis presumed caused by Autoimmune hepatitis (diagnosed April 2011)
