What to do the night before seeing my specialist, you may wonder.
You scour medical arrivals searching for evidence of the possibility of reversing your condition, that’s what you do.
I found an article on Pub Med National Livrary of Medicine that fits the bill for me tonight.
Is cirrhosis of the liver reversible?
Manoj Kumar et al. Indian J Pediatr. 2007 Apr.
Extensive and persistent hepatic fibrosis has for a long time been considered irreversible. Accumulating evidence suggests that liver fibrosis is reversible and that recovery from cirrhosis may be possible. The application of molecular techniques to models of reversible fibrosis are helping to establish the events and processes that are critical to recovery. The problem consists in identifying and eliminating its cause. Although fibrosis in the liver has little functional significance by itself, its severity derives from associated vascular changes. Disappearance of fibrosis can be accompanied by remodeling of vascular changes. However, depending on its duration, the fibrosis may be irreversible.

I can’t wait to go over my recent scans and bloodwork with Dr. Swendsen, and hear his thoughts on what has been going on and what to expect in the near future and on down the highway. I can’t say enough about this doctor and the whole team. His compassion and careful explanation of what was going on early in helped to put me in a great position to fight back.
Fingers crossed for some very different news than last spring when everything fell apart.

These movements were out of production, never to be made again. And we knew we had to grab them.
Panerai is a great lifestyle watch brand for Scottsdale and Aspen. It is a watch that can be worn 24/7, link and the classic design never link goes out of style.
