Hey Sweetie. Long time no talkee. Really? The big C? For you? Why does he say this? Blood work?
Hi
Do I understand you right: You were stage 3, treated and have been cured a couple of years and you have now still developed cirrhosis?
Agree. According to my new doc I've passed over inito cirrhosis land...I was close when I treated but didn't want to end up here. Treat now.
"My treating doctor says no need for biopsy, better to start treatment now."
I agree, start before you cross that line into cirrhosis. Best to you.
The fibrotest is a blood test that is not a very accurate test - that's why insurance will pay for fibroscans, which have demonstrated reproducibility and not fibrotest or fibrospect blood tests, which have shown much less correlation with biopsies.
