Thank you Dr James

I really hope I can beat this.

I feel so dumb, I’ve had this for 10 years and throughout, I believed my condition was fine and not to worry, that it would easily get treated when necessary (my doctors led me to believe this, so I never really did my own research apart from the basics). I have been neglectful and for the first time I am taking this seriously.

To be honest it has me very anxious and worried. I seriously regret not prioritizing this, and my health in general.

I never paid much attention to details of my results.

I am now trying to learn as much as possible, take my health more seriously immediately, and make sure I do everything in my power to make my condition as best as possible.

I just got a fibroscan a few days ago and have an appointment with a liver specialist in a couple days.

Can you let me know if there are any questions I should have? And what I should know overall about my condition?

Also, how can I maximize my current condition, and maximize my chances of retreatment success?

Another thing – for the past few days I have been having pains in different parts of my abdomen, but I notice pains especially in what feels like my liver area. I’ve had these pains before and honestly it probably didn’t affect me as much, as I was led to believe it was something else, so the anxiety is probably not helping. When would I know if it’s an emergency?

Pardon my message, I am having a hard time being calm about this. I really appreciate any help I can get here
