Liver cancer: I'm weighing treatment options including transplant
Liver Cancer | Last Active: Feb 13, 2022 | Replies (22)Comment receiving replies
@alfonso22, I want to welcome you to Mayo Connect. I am a liver (and kidney) transplant recipient, as @auntieoakey has already shared with you. When I was at end stage liver failure and on the transplant waiting list, my doctors suspected that I had bile duct cancer. I understand the confusion and how scared you must be right now. For me the wait until an accurate diagnosis could be made was the longest and scariest time of my life.
I would like to connect you with others who have been diagnosed with liver cancer and transplant. You are not alone and I am sure that you have many questions.
Alfonso, Would you tell me more about your situation? What kind of treatment has been suggested for the cancer? Are you currently waiting for a transplant? What questions would you like to ask.
