Diagnosed April ‘24, surgery June. We chose wait and see with 90 day MRI. September MRI showed another tumor. Tumor board thought ablation was the way to go and I agreed. Oct 18 surgery/ablation was unsuccessful because tumor had grown 2c more and is against the bile duct. Bad news. Good news I still have options. Friday I get mapped for Y90 drug which will be administered 11/7. I am hopeful the drug will shrink the tumor so it can be ablated. We won’t know if possible until 6week MRI after Y90. I was not a transplant candidate, too old. So we are following protocol for HCC liver cancer. I’ll report in how the mapping went for me. We feel alone but there are many liver cancer patients who are living daily with this disease. Fight on!!

How old is too old for transplant? I heard that you can still get transplanted into your 70s if your overall health is good.
