Hello
Not sure if this thread is still going but my husband has cirrohsis, has been alcohol free for 6 months, was denied ablation in November due to where the tumor was located and referred to mayo for treatments and was listed for transplant in February of this year. They did the Y90 procedure in February and in April tumor had shrunk and his tumor marker number went from 625 to 90. August will be when his Meld exception number cancer will be added to his current number which now is 18. Because we did not discover the tumor right away and even though it shrunk I am worried every-time we get checked I worry that a tumor is back or it spread taking us out of transplant. They reassure us it’s a slow growing cancer but it’s still cancer? Just looking for anyone who has a situation like this or have a spouse or someone they are going through with this. Thank you.

@gigi32, I hope you saw the helpful replies from @craigcraig @parrot53 and @fontanhccmom. How are you and your husband doing?

@fontanhccmom, how are you and your son doing as the transplant day approaches. Will the transplant be done at Mayo Clinic?
