Cfbiff wrote:Can't say enough about Dr. Kemeny...She has advocated for us more in three 5 minute meetings than any of our local Drs have done in a year. Our local Dr's have written me off as dead from the beginning (July of 2015) she is giving us hope and fighting for us already.

I have had read about the HAI pump and Dr K but never considered myself a candidate as I was told I was operable and had liver resected. Do you go to Dr K because no one else will touch your tumor? i know she is known as a a life saver and is tremendously respected for her trailblazing... Reassessing my options after next scan and while HAI is not on my radar, I'm reflecting on what I know now and didn't know then....thx!
