People around you who are hepatitis B carriers... do you abstain from drinking?

Rangoon... is a hepatitis B carrier...

I found out about that a long time after I got married and had my eldest child.

Before I got married, my father-in-law had liver cancer.

At Severance Hospital in Shinchon, they said that the treatment went well and that it was even reported to an academic society as a success story. But, after we got married, and a long time later, the disease relapsed, and after repeated laparoscopic surgeries, the patient passed away when the second child was two years old. He also had ascites and suffered greatly.

 

But.. I never thought it would happen, but after my father-in-law passed away.. a few months later, during a health checkup.. my mother-in-law was also diagnosed with the same liver cancerㅜ After taking care of her for a long timeㅜ and then.. she passed away 9 years ago..

 

This... I didn't know... Hepatitis B virus is vertically transmitted. My mother-in-law didn't have antibodies. So I guess my husband also became a carrier without antibodies. You never know what will happen in life, so that's possible... The problem is... Even though both of my parents passed away from liver cancer... and my family has a lot of liver cancer... Ulang still can't quit drinking ㅠㅠ It's not like I drink a ton of alcohol... but even if it's a few times a month... From my perspective as a spouse...

 

 

 

 

I looked it up and found these complications and precautions for hepatitis B carriers.

 

I'm in my early fifties now... When will I ever be able to calm down?

I am continuing to have blood tests and ultrasounds.

Still! I guess it's time to abstainㅠ

If I say a few words about that... no matter how nicely I say it... he gets upset and sulks, saying that he knows to cut back and is concerned ㅠㅠ Even if I say it carefully so that he doesn't get upset, it seems like the sound itself is stressful for Rangoon. So these days, I hardly ever say anything... but I really care ㅠ The reason I'm especially worried is because... I have a herniated disc. So... the fact that someone takes care of me... I always have to be careful because I don't know when my disc might burst... that's what's scary.

 

Another thing I'm worried about is... about ten years ago... when I had an ultrasound... something was found in my gallbladder, so I had a biopsy... and the conclusion was that I had to have my gallbladder removed... I'm really worried... because work isn't something I have free time with and I'm always busy;;;

 

Among your family members or acquaintances, are there any carriers like this? Do they abstain from drinking?
