Hello Donna,
It is a scary diagnosis I know. If you can get to a transplant center like Mayo, you may be able to get treatment to shrink or otherwise treat your tumor. It is important to see someone at a teaching hospital as they work with a team approach and you get the benefit of several specialists all looking at your case together.
You can use the “Request an appointment” here on the right or go on line and fill out a request. It does take a little while for the response but it is worth the wait. Good luck to you and don’t give up. Glad you found us here.
Hi @donnabl, hearing that you have cancer is scary. Liver cancer can be treated in many different ways. Transplant is only one treatment option.
Do you know what type of liver cancer you have and what stage? Are you being seen at a cancer center? How are you doing?
Hello Donna,
Wonder how you are doing? Were you able to find a teaching/transplant center to help evaluate your options. Wishing you peace and calm in your quest for a cure.
My tumor grew to wear I can't get a transplant I'm scared and idk what to think anymore I'm going to be talking to a specialist in Minnesota to see if I can get the tumor to shrink and get back on the list again but thank you I need as much prayers 🙏
Yes I'm talking to a specialist in Minnesota so I'll find out more on Monday so I'm kinda scared but I will need all the prayers needed 🙏 thank you 😊
Good for you. It is scary but stay positive. There are more options now than ever before. Wishing you the very best.
Thanks 🙏
How did your appointment go @donnabl? What did you find out?
Well I have to do chemo I'm scared to do this but I guess I have too so I can get that transplant but thanks for the prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Donna,
So glad you are seeing a specialist. Chemo is no fun for sure. However, if it will shrink that tumor so you can get a transplant you can have a future. I am so glad you are moving forward. Sending you courage and strength to help see you through.
