@donnabl How are you coming along?🙏
Hello BLM47,
Hoping you are doing well. The early signs of my liver cancer came after many years of Hep c infection which caused cirrhosis. I was not able to get a cure for the hep c until 2019. The cirrhosis progressed to liver cancer that was small with really no extra symptoms besides more fatigue. Then I began to have discomfort on my right side under my ribs. The tumor was discovered by MRI and monitored by my docs at Mayo Jacksonville until it reached 2 cm and then ablated. I have gastrointestinal problems and still have fatigue. What information are you looking for? Here are a couple of websites to explore.

Wishing you the best.
How are you doing? I haven’t seen you here in a while. Did your Y90 work out? Wishing you the best outcome possible.
