Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Best of wishes and prayers, . Sheena in CA My husband just found out he has a tumor. They did a CT and ultrasound on him. They don't want to do a biosipy. We are going to see a cancer doctor next week. I am worried he may be faced with surgery to remove it if his liver can handle it. I don't know how bad his liver is scared yet.He was diaognosied with hep c 5 years ago and he got it about 40 years ago. He has been lucky so far with lots of herbs, vitamins, teas and a healthly diet. I hope his luck holds out. in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 -Hi , Hope all goes well for your husband. I will have first CT since being diagnosed in 1999 on Oct 28th. Biopsied in 2000. I, too, have taken the supplement route--I was 64 when diagnosed. Had Hep C for 42+ yrs. Just wish there were a better way to check our liver along the way. My prayers are with you.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 There are far less invasive ways to treat tumors now days , so please reseach all options . There is chemo abilation , along with surgery and transplant . Weigh all options and discuss every detail with the doctor before making a decision .

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hi , There are several articles on alpha lipoic acid and low dose naltroxen for cancer. I certainly would consider surgery IF IT WERE ME, but this is nice info to have---especially since you have gone the alternative route. I cannot get any address to come up for me to give you. There is an article in Townsend letters Dec 2007 and when I type alpha lipoic acid naltroxen in the search web space I get several articles. I, too, have had Hep C 40+ yrs and have recently started supps. My urologist ordered a CT scan for Oct 28, so I will know a little more about my liver then. As you are concerned about whether surgery is possible or not, I hope this may offer an alternative for you in case surgery is ruled out. Dr. Berkson,also, wrote an article about it. I wish you luck and hope that it is benign. How will they know without a biopsy? Let us know how the doctor visit goes. You are in my thoughts and prayers, SuzoQ Subject: Re: tumor in liverTo: "Hepatitis _C_Central" <Hepatitis_C_Central >Date: Sunday, October 19, 2008, 12:34 AM Hi ,I've been thinking of you and your hub by.
