Liver Cirrhosis: Want to connect with others
Hi Everyone. I'm so sorry to bother you, and I couldn't find a support group here for liver cirrhosis, so I chose the only liver option, which is Liver Cancer. I'm so sorry if I've offended anyone. I have a severe anxiety disorder and also have COPD. I constantly think that because cirrhosis is called terminal, that I might not have long left. It's the uncertainty that's got to me I think, and the mixed messages I get from my specialist. One moment he's telling me I've got less than 5 years to live, then during the same appointment he tells me I can reverse from decompensated to compensated, as long as I stay away from alcohol, eat well, exercise etc. and then he mentioned a patient who lived for well over 20 years with this. The mornings, when I first wake up, are the worst. Thank you so much to anyone who can help. If anyone has a positive story to share with me I would be so grateful.
