After 14 years, I've had very little problems with the virus progression but still did whatever I wanted in my life. I'm not anything but a social drinker s...
I realize this is open and many factors would change but in general I would like to know what you have been told regarding prognosis of your cirrhosis or in general.

It may still not reveal the Chinese herbs which make up SBEL1, however. See below for link to thesis. If someone can figure out how to read it, plea...

Hi All just back from my hepatologist, 12 weeks post treatment, all looking good: VL undetected < 15, ALT 21, AST 21, GGT 23, platelets 206. Psychology is an interesting field.
