Quick update! Called the hospital today to try to find out when the fibroscan might be, said I can be there in 20 minutes if they had a cancellation. Got a call back 10 minutes later to see if I am free on Friday! Of course I am!
Happen to have my 3 monthly Haemotology appointment next Monday so hopefully I should have a reason soon as to what is causing the high ferritin.
Oh @Suey good news please do let us know how you get on.
Be kind to yourself
So I eventually saw the liver consultant yesterday, he said I donāt have iron overload and doesnāt think venesections are necessary. He is going to do an endoscopy (something else to freak me out!) and is still waiting for some blood results but isnāt overly concerned about my liver. He frustratingly told me to lose weight, I have only recently returned to my pre cancer weight as after transplant I was told not to diet!!
I thought I was done with Haemotology appointments but I have one in July so I hope they have the same opinion about the venesections.
Hi @Suey. Itās good to get an update.
Just when we think one thing is sorted thereās something else!
Good news about the venesections and your liver, that must be a relief.
Please let us know how you get on with your endoscopy
