I was admitted to hospital just over 1 year ago. Alcoholic cirrhosis. I spent 3 weeks there and was released with 3 to 8 months to live. I'm now doing okay with the only symptoms of slight lower limb edema and I'm slightly yellow. My bilirubin got as low as 105 from the 450 in hospital. But for some reason it spiked to 135 in the blood test from a week ago. :( Haven't had a drink since I was in hospital.

I also got the second HCC screen US 2 weeks ago and there's a new lesion. So of course I'm terrified and can't talk to my specialist about it until 10 June. Looking for comments from other people who got a scary scan. I'm Child-Pugh C 8 btw.
