I am learning that you have to be your own advocate when it comes to this disease. Sites like this are a valuable source of information. There are various hospitals that offer the HAI pump. While Mayo in Florida does not offer this treatment, Rochester location does but only for unresectable livers. I just went through the tumor removal and liver resection. It was a very tough surgery. In a few weeks I will have a body scan, if my cancer comes back I too will be looking into the HAI pump. Best of luck to you.
