Jay,
thank you for posting such an alarming outcome. Firstly, my sincere sympathy for the loss of your Mother in this way. She would no doubt have been impressed on your reaction and warning on her behalf.
My surgeon confirmed my liver and other organs looked ok. I had pre-surgery blood tests performed with exactly the same done before leaving my hospital. I have been asked to have the same blood tests (liver function etc) done at 6 months. It includes hepatitis.
I have not come across anything similar to your thread in the four months that I have been on this Forum, perhaps because I felt no concern personally and therefore was not looking.
I will speak with my doctor upon my next appointment. Thank you very much for raising this life-threatening condition.
With very best wishes for your own good health and your spreading the word.
Vim
