Awesome result

I did not realise that stage 3 meant compensated cirrhosis

I just had a fibroscan today. I had a 10.5 before starting tx..A 10.7 towards the end of it..finished tx in Oct 2013..
today's score is 5.9

At same time they have done an elastographie?? That is a 6.9 as appears to be a difference of one unit between them

Either or that is an improvement.. almost to normal levels :)
