Question: What type of different liver dieasese are there .? .?
My uncle has been really sick for like 3 months (lost 50 pounds, consistent fiver , nausea , fatigue ) and the doctor said that he thinks it might be something with the liver because it looks different i don't remember what , he thinks it's cancer though what else could it be . Next week he is getting a camera thing to check the liver/lungs , though his red/white blood cell count is normal . Any other disease that cause that .? I really hope it's not cancer :(

my brother has a crazy liver!
his liver always gives his problems, and he can always feel it hurting in his body, right under her chest. Is your uncle a vegetarian, like my brother.? If so, that can be the reason for the liver disease. Matthew, my brother, eats a lot of tofu, veggie products, which have been proven to be dangerously dangerous to the liver, they even did a study on it. Those boca burgers, and other Soy products aren't good for your Liver, when eaten primarily with vegetarians.
It's good that your Uncle is getting an X-Ray to check, it's possibly an MRI a more thorough exam. Hopefully, they don't find any masses, cancerous or not, that won't be good. Although he quit drinking, he will still feel the long term effects, that's permanent. I don't think smoking has much to do with it, that's more of the lungs.
This is a very useful article:

It explains what it is, and the different sorts of liver cancer, the sign, etc, etc. I hope your uncle is okay though. Glad to see the doctors are getting more thorough. Sometimes, it's not what the doctors are concerned about that kills you. My grandfather had Prostate Cancer, the early signs, everyone was worried about that. He had a massive heart attack, they weren't thinking about that. He's dead unfortunately.
