I have also posted this on the general health board, but might be more knowledge here?
I've name changed for this, as it's a bit outing (have discussed with close friends) and don't want it linked to my previous comments and posts.
I had laprascopic gallbladder surgery recently (totally successful). However, during the surgery, the surgeon has seen that I have "significant" fibrosis of my liver. He has referred me back to my GP for more blood tests. He was very clear with me that I must insist apon a referral to Hepatology for investigation.
My lovely Mum died of autoimmune liver disease a decade ago at the age if 57. When I told the consultant that he went quiet and then repeated that the fibrosis is significant, and must be investigated.
I'm terrified.
I'm not sure what I'm asking, for reassurance, others experience, maybe?
