I am approaching my second year and although I feel better equipped and relieved the first full year is completely over with, I wonder if your journey changed, improved, or had new challenges in your second year and beyond. All the things I had to take care of last year and readjusting won't be an issue this year.

After going through the worst stress possible, I do not stress as much about small things and have learned to enjoy the moment.

Did time appear to move quicker after the second year for you or essentially the same?

I was diagnosed with AIH in September. I had my CT scan today and everything looked good...except my liver. Here is what it said:

Liver: There is an area of enhancement on the border of the medial segment of the left

lobe and anterior segment of the right lobe inferiorly in liver segment five measuring 2.5

x 2 cm with rapid washout. Although this could represent a transient hepatic attenuation

difference (THAD), lesions such as adenocarcinoma cannot be excluded. With a history

of chronic hepatitis, this lesion is concerning and is worrisome for a LI-RADS type 5

lesion.

I just had an abdominal scan (ultrasound) in June and it showed none of this. Has anyone had this in their CT scan? Did they follow up with a biopsy? My primary seems to think it is THAD listed above.

I have been thinking about this for a while, but not sure if it would be a good idea or not. I am in one group IRL, but the ladies are all older. I was thinking of starting a social group for those widowed in my area. If you think about it, unless you are in your chapter 2 already, most people are going to show up to holidays, events, etc with partners and it might create a safe space for those who need it. Then again, others may prefer "mainstream" gatherings to feel normal.Thoughts?
