Of specialist 2

Hmmm, I picked up the call and the nurse transferred the call to the Doctor.
Strange. If it's minor, the nurse can just talk to me.

Doctor said there are total of 6 points to confirm this chronic disease. For me, I have 4 already:
- No Hep A, B or C
- Smooth muscle anti-bodies
- Elevating liver enzymes in blood (he said the last results for the blood test on Fri had doubled)
- Symptoms like fatigue, abdominal discomfort, nausea, aching and itching

The liver biopsy will confirm the last two points. He said it's 50-50 chance but it seems more than 50% now.
Well. He arranged for me to do a liver biopsy. I put it on Sat to minimise disruptions to work. Scary, he said this Sat (so fast??)

Will be doing a blood coagulation test on Friday, to check for a common problem liver patients have - i.e. blood cannot clot. My dear blood, please clot nicely!

I still remember my sister kept telling me that she wanna treasure her liver. It's a very impt organ. I did - I don't drink, no smoking. What an irony.

The frequency of this illness is about 1 case in every 100,000 population in caucasian population.
Am I lucky or what! I found a good website to describe this.

I hung up the phone and started sobbing. Thank god I am alone with Nana. Took a walk and chatted with my mum and sis. They sounded non-chalent actually. Hmmm. Maybe I really think too much. Or could be I read too much about this disease. Maybe it's just an alarm. I tend to be pessimistic, I shall think positively! Good or bad to have libraians as my mum and sis? hah.

Good luck to me on Sat! =)
