Anyone have any tips? I am mid 40's and was diagnosed last year and although currently symptoms are mild the scans of my enormous liver completely freaked me out and I want to try and do everything to slow it's growth to make life easier when I am older. Re there any other sufferers out there and if so do you have any tips? I couldn't find much on the internet, my GP doesn't know and although I have consultant bit is ages to next appointment.

What are your liver function blood tests like? What sort of symptoms are your experiencing? Do you have polycystic kidney disease too?

Liver function is fine and nothing on kidneys. So far not loads of symptoms other than regularly feeling sore under my ribs and occasional chest pain. It's fine for now, I am just trying to do what I can to slow the part where the symptoms are bad if that's possible.

As long as your liver function blood tests are stable and your symptoms are under control, there is no need to worry.

Make sure you are getting blood tests at least yearly.

If symptoms are getting worse or you have jaundice, make sure you seek medical attention.
