Liver transplant - Let's support each other

I am currently under transplant evaluation. I was just hoping to find others in similar situations. I have had one resection, and had y90 one year later when another tumor developed. Now I have no symptoms, and I am cancer free 1-1/2 years post y90. The team recommends a transplant, but I feel perfectly healthy and I am wondering if this is common in HCC patients.

@gman66,

Congratulations on the report of being cancer free and able to proceed to transplant evaluation. I hope that the evaluation is going well for you. I can understand that you are probably confused right now, but if I were you, I would place my trust in the doctors who are being proactive with your care. You might stay healthy or your health might begin to fail. I do not know the common pattern for patients with HCC.

I want to share part of a conversation that @japv2001 posted on Sep 7, 2018.. Here is the link where you can read what he, and @jodeej, and especially what @keggebraaten have shared.
