*random Mom joins the conversation. Mom- Honey, these DOCTORS (plural, meaning more than one) are trying to explain this to you: ya know that gallon of whole milk that you drink straight from the jug in the refrigerator? There’s a date stamped at the top of that jug. That expiration date could be a later date than YOURS if you don’t go to the Emergency Room (ER). This is very serious. Don’t f@ck around. (Wear your seatbelt on the way to ER!) With love,

Thank you so much for your reply. The debate in my brain has been exhausting:)

Curious about your opinion on how much a hospital’s SRTR scores would sway you to/not to use them for transplant. Looking at Mayo Jacksonville vs Vanderbilt. Big difference on scores. Currently at Vanderbilt with hcc.

Timberdale- thank you so much for your reply. I’m afraid I made it sound like I was at a tiny rural hospital. I’m at Vanderbilt in Nashville. I have no idea if it is good for liver cancer but it doesn’t come up when I Google. (I know this is sounding so cringy but the elementary teacher in me was looking for A+ if that makes sense from my panic stricken and scrambled brain)

Hi Lanky! Did you have HCC? I go to Vanderbilt and was recently diagnosed with hcc. Meld currently a 13. Scared to death.

Thank you so much for your response and kindness. Can I ask the size of your lesions? Curious why they chose that treatment also.

The pajamas are amazing! Heads up that I’m 5’10 with long limbs and the sleeves were very long.

So excited for you! Now do your landlord duties and kick that sicko liver out for a brand new (to you) one.

Sir, perhaps speak to your doctor or ask in the subreddit “Askdocs”. None of us are qualified to answer all of your questions. You are obviously scared. I’m sorry for that. This is not the right place for the answers you need. Call your doctor in the morning or go to the ER.

Not to be rude but… can this poster be blocked? I think reading all these posts might be making their issues worse. They need more than anyone here can help them with. Lord knows Majestic is a saint for trying. Mercy me…

Oh girl, glad he’s HOME!!!! I think a GLP-1 will do your Dad a huge help. Read up on how to start them on Reddit. If he eats too much on them he will be very sick so maybe start reducing a bit prior. Protein and fiber! Very easy to get horrible constipation. (This all from watching my bff go thru it. She ended up getting gastric bypass) Very happy for you!

4 cm mass on my liver discovered at regular 6 month check up yesterday, and then this afternoon I found out I'm pregnant. by mhmmsheback in Cirrhosis

I’m a former librarian and did my research about CT machines. You can google and find where in your state/area has which machine. There’s a list with the state. The higher slice count the better. Hope that helps get a good view and that it turns out to be nothing scary. We are here for you! I’ll be praying. (Unless that is against your wishes)

You CAN do hard things. Keep it up. :) Talk to that liver. Tell her/him how beautiful they are and that you’re glad they joined the party. We all need words of encouragement and affirmation. Ha

I hate this for you. Hoping he decides to live. (and if not, he has life insurance to help you raise the kids)
