cirrhosis

Just got back biopsy test and have cirrohsis. My GI said that
treatment may actually exacerbate it. Any comments, as i am now
just like I have been the last 53 years, completely clueless.
Thanks - willie

    hey there willie......... i am sorry that they found cirrhosis :-( I have
    that too! Did they give you a grade and stage? are you beginning
    cirrhosis? Cirrhosis would be stage 4 and then there are grades 1-4 within
    that with grade 4 stage 4 being the worst or end stage cirrhosis. There are
    lots of things you can do for yourself.......... especially in the way of
    diet and herbs........do you take milk thistle and lecithin? almost all the
    docs i have seen over the years say that those two are the most important.
    Anyway, I am unsure if treatment would exacerbate it or not. I just know
    that mine DID get worse with just 17 weeks of treatment. I think it is
    something you should talk over with your doc and then make a decision. Good
    luck with it (((Willie))) and if there is anything I can do for you please
    don't hesitate to ask :-) I have been cirrhotic for several years and I
    am still hanging in and hanging on so don't let it get you too down ;-)
    Are they going to send you for a transplant eval? Take care and I will
    ttyl.
    Peace and Love,
    Pam

    I looked at my charge for my Biopsy and they coded it as cirrhosis. I am a
    bit panicked since my doctors appointment isnt until Monday. I work at the
    hospital where my work is being done and I have access to all the records, I
    am tempted to pull the actual report. I am not feeling sick does this mean I
    am going to be sick soon. This is so hard.
    Thanks for listening
