I was diagnoses with Hep.B 5 years ago in London. But I think I've got it from my mother. My mother died becouse she was not diagnosed earlier with hep.B and became very ill having a cirrosis. She lasted 6 months only. Now i think it can happened to me. I worry very much. But in UK i don't know what to do. While i lived in London i had a very good hepatitis specialist in special clinic. Recently i moved to midlands i saw GP here about my test results He didn't tell me anything i didn't know. He said there is no need for blood test every 6 months. So i don't know if i'm getting worst or not, how is virus progressing.Can anybody give me advice what should i do. Do i need to have blood test 1-2 times a year or wait till i become ill? Thank you

i cant believe they said you dont need to have you blood test every 6 months of course you do you need to know how you liver levels are i live in manchester and have just found out i have hep b a month ago and i know for fact that i got about 4 months ago i was in hospital for 10 days left hospital and had to go for a blood test in 5 days but they never got back to me so i went to see my gp and had a anouther blood test i know it doesnt makes any sence when you look at them but if you go on google and type lets hep b blood test results the is loads of sites that explains to you and teach you how to understand your blood test results your doctor should always give you a copy of it anyway i think you should change gp or be honest to him and say you wanna your blood test every 6 months i would want it every 4 months if i became chronic sorry to hear about your my mum its a very sad story my email is danielcunha84@hotmail.com get in touch if u need talking about anything
