I have liver cancer: What next?

Hi Colleen , BLM47 here, I'm kinda lost but I'm looking for people who remember early signs of gallbladder/liver cancer and diagnosis and treatments ect. Can you please help me connect.

Thank you I'm glad ur doing well ☺️ hope all is going good for you and yes I'm ready to get this y90 done and see what the outcome is thanks for the response and have a blessed Sunday and prayers for all the cancer people 🙏

Hi @donnabl, hearing that you have cancer is scary. Liver cancer can be treated in many different ways. Transplant is only one treatment option.

Do you know what type of liver cancer you have and what stage? Are you being seen at a cancer center? How are you doing?

@donnabl Thank you I am doing well after an ablation two years ago. I am now on a four month surveillance program to be sure my tumor does not recur. Very thankful for that. Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better after Covid. Best of luck in September.

@donnabl just checking in to see how you are doing. I know your Y90 treatment is coming up in September. I do hope you are over your bout of Covid and feeling a little better. Sending you good thoughts and best results possible on your Y90 treatment.

Well a little about my self I got my gallbladder removed in 2018 and mind you it broke open and I was in the hospital for 5 days almost at deaths door but I can out of it and when the Dr came in told me that I had a fatty liver I didn't ask much more and she didn't tell me anything more it's just a fatty liver so I go on with my life then in 2023 I start getting bad back pain hurt to lay on my right side plus I was having bad stomach pains so I go to the ER and they did a MRI and found a tumor on liver so that was in November of 2023 and the sent me to do a biopsy and it was cancer told me I need a liver transplant so I was getting my body ready for a transplant then they did a brian and bone scan to see if it spreading but it was ok the Dr said then I started getting ready to go to Minnesota to get on the transplant list and all turned around and went to good to worse so I can't get the transplant be cause the tumer grew over the limit of the transplant 😭 but now I have a second opinion to do the Y90 treatment so I'm heading up to Minnesota in September kinda scared I'll have it all done in a week hopefully the tumor gets smaller to the point I can get a liver transplant so yes that my story of my cancer I have my kids by my side im greatfull for that sending prayers to all with cancer

I'm so sick I have covid and I can't take anything for my headache I'm hurting bad any body knows what can help with my body and headache please let me know thanks

Hello @donnabl i am so sorry to hear you have Covid. At least you will be over it before your Y90 treatment in September. Have you been told not to take Tylenol by your docs? Sometimes a cool washcloth can bring some relief for a headache but of course it will do nothing for body aches. Thinking of you and hoping you feel better soon.
