yes and thank you, two weeks ago after Ultra sound and blood tests the Doctor here in Thailand came bacfk with the diagnosis of AAAAAAA liver disease . I am grossly overweight and have started weight loss and excercise. A fibroscan (not USDA approved) showed a slight tendancy toward chirosis. Is this a death sentence? Can excercise and weight loss put this thing at bay before it is full blown liver failure . Is this a long time if it does progresses?
