Hi guys I just got back from the fibro scan. The girl said she couldn't read the results but I saw a number coming up on the screen, near the bottom of the machine that changed slightly from 1.25 to about 1.67 ...I presume that was the score, and if so looks to be near similar to the blood test. Which was betwe...
