Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 I thought tumors would show up in your blood work, I recall a certain protein would show up. Am I wrong on this? Is the only way to know by a CT scan? WulfeMom Real Bad News. Checked into the hospital yesterday because my doctors were unable to determine the cause of my fevers for the last 2+ weeks. They hooked my up to an IV for antibiotics, and ran a cat scan and a chest xray. The xray was to check for TB, which I do not have. The cat scan checked my liver and all nearby organs, abdomen, etc. To make a long story short I have liver cancer. Foci (tumors) " too numerous to count. " So, no TX but (I hope) a transplant. I have read though, in my Hep C book by Harriet Washington, that if you have more than 2 or 3 tumors they will not do a transplant. Also, if you have had previous abdominal surgery (which I have, colon removal) you also are not a suitable candadate for a transplant. I see my GI Dr at 9:15am tomorrow (yes, Saturday). Hopefully I will learn more then. If anyhow has knowledge that would address my suitability as a liver transplant candidate, please share it with me. Thanks, Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
