CAN I RECOVER FROM THIS WITH PROPER TREATMENT?

@beth123, if you haven't already, you can request a second opinion using this form. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

I'm also tagging fellow colorectal members who have been to Mayo Clinic like @roywalton @pjebp @annejacobsen @clare12351.

Saw on TV that Cleveland Clinic in of course Cleveland Ohio has developed a new way to kill tumors in or in the liver. Its sorta a wave treatment that causes the tumors to blow up because of the heat created by the wave vibrations Check it out I have no more informattion but just call Cleveland clinic and do some digging

This might be what you are describing: It's a technique called histotripsy. It is FDA approved, non-invasive, and is using sound waves to break down tumors in the liver :
