Welcome to our community! We’d love to learn a little about what has brought you here.

  1. Thanks so much, I’m learning what to not eat and it is hard they say Mediterranean diet without fruit since I also now have type 2 diabetes

    1. My name is Beverly. I’ve just been diagnose all of a sudden with stage 4 fibrosis cirrhosis and also diabetes. I am keeping diabetes under control. Went from A1C of 10 to now a 6. I am trying to stay positive through all this. Jesus has the wheel.

      1. Brenda Bledsoe here. Diagnosed with stage II liver fibrosis. Instead of losing weight, I seem to be gaining. What can I do?

        1. Hi Brenda, welcome to the community! We're so glad you found us. Losing weight can be a challenge, I'm sorry to hear you've been having issues. May I ask if you work with a nutritionist or dietician? I've heard from other members of the community that they have been a game changer in the weight management. Your doctor may also be able to provide some helpful tips, since they know your medical history. What do you think? Here is an article on diet/nutrition that might be helpful to read as well. Best, Alexa (team member)

      2. Hello, I am Dawn and my husband has NASH. We recently discovered that he has 3 spots on his liver which is cancer. They are recommending him for a liver transplant. We just had two days of testing and meeting with many different doctors, for his evaluation. He is supposed to get the liver tumors shrunk somehow. I don't know exactly the terminology. This will happen before transplant. Supposed to be on the waitlist in about a month. I am anxious about the symptoms. He feels fine and is working in construction. Will he eventually have more symptoms as time goes on? I am trying to learn as much as I can about this disease. I feel we are in good hands. We live in a suburb outside of Boston Ma. and hospital is only 15 minutes away. I joined a free support group on zoom run by the American Liver Foundation, every third Thursday if any needs more support I can provide more information. Thank you for this forum. I hope to visit often.❤️
