My brother was diagnosed with cirrhosis about a year ago. He's tried rehab twice but it hasn't worked, he's been back to drinking vodka the last three months that I know of. He's told me he's has black stools for about 5 days now and a few days ago vomited some blood. The outlook isn't good is it? I feel like I'm kidding myself that he's going to be fine. My Aunty said very insensitivly that it's just about waiting for him to die now. He's my older brother and only 33. He's been a drinker since 15/16 years old.
Does anyone have any experience with this? How long does someone last with cirrhosis that doesn't quit drinking and carries on drinking the hard stuff like vodka and whisky
