GOOD NEWS ( I THINK )

I GOT FED UP WAITING FOR THE HOSPITAL TO RING ME BACK SO I PHONED JONATHAN'S NURSE, HE GAVE ME HER NUMBER (CHEERS MATE), SHE WAS VERY NICE.
WELL WHAT CAN I SAY, I THINK SHE GAVE ME GOOD NEWS, MY LIVER IS MILD TO MODERATELY INFLAMED, SLIGHT FIBROSIS AND NO BRIDGING WHATEVER THAT MEANS, BUT SHE SAID IT WAS GOOD. I STILL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE MY CONSULTANT TO SEE WHERE WE GO NOW. I FEEL LIKE GOING TO THE PUB TO CELEBRATE, BUT I WONT.

ON A MUCH SADDER NOTE, A FELLOW HAEMOPHILIAC WHO CONTRACTED HEPATITIS C AND HIV THROUGH CONTAMINATED NHS BLOOD PRODUCTS HAS SADLY LOST HIS FIGHT FOR LIFE, ALTHOUGH I DID NOT PERSONALLY KNOW PETER, HE AND HIS WIFE CAROL HAVE DONE A GREAT DEAL FOR PEOPLE WITH HEP C AND I THANK THEM. I FEEL KIND OF GUILTY GETTING GOOD NEWS ON SUCH A SAD DAY.
I HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REST NOW PETER.

Weyhey good news matey, no bridging what not....

Glad that my nurse was able to help, she is really nice. At least you now can make an informed decision about treatment.
