Liver cancer: Questions about clinical trials and more
Hello I have 2 questions 1st is the trial treatment is just for people who tried other treatment first or it could be for any who wants to try. 2nd my doctor never told me there was another tumor even tho is not cancer and small on size I just found on my Y90 evaluation technician show my MRI scan and explain both tumor and locations not sure why doctor never said anything even tho I ask if the left side was a tumor as my primary doctor told new cancer doctor said no was on the right side I do not like when she try to hide facts any ideas why I was told so thank you

Hello, @alfonso22 . In answer to your first question about clinical trials, the information about the trial should answer your question. Clinical trials are research and have to be very, very clear about who can join the trials. So if there is a clinical trial that you think you might qualify for there will be someone to contact to ask those questions. In answer to your second question, I get your frustration. It's hard to know why the doctor did not give you all the information. I know how hard this is because it feel like doctors are in a hurry. But you are the patient in the room with the doctor and so you are the most important person there. Do you think you can be persistent with your questions until they are answered? If you know what questions you want to ask can you write them down ahead of time? And then write down what the doctor says to you? Also, is a family member in the room with you?

I didn’t get a bruise but I think I read it does happen sometimes. It’s just from the needle stick. Congrats on starting your y90. I’m anxious to see how you progress. Best, Diane
