    cholangio

    I'm at MDAnderson in Phoenix Arizona.  Have been on Chemo since August 2016.  I'm told they specialize in liver cancer but haven't found a person with this there so far.  My tumors are getting smaller and am looking forward to embolization after PET scan next February.

    • You know it all depends where on the liver the cancer is as to if they can operate.  My  mother was very fortunate that hers was in the place on the liver it was.  IU in Indianapolis was able to operate and she was fine.  IU is part of the Clarion Health network.  If you want to go asap, ask your doc to get you in.  To do it on your own takes longer.
