Hi Adam ,
I am not too far away from you . I am just across the water in Scotland and your not too far away from Christie’s Hospital too .
Couple of things you might want to get better informed about . The size and location of your spread in the liver . The liver surgeons are going in much more aggressively in the UK where possible than they did in the past . As you will see from my mum ‘s signature she had 73% of her liver removed . She had an extensive spread . We have a centre of clinical excellence for the liver in Edinburgh. The surgeons are set up to do the more extensive resections . All they need to do is review your scans . They can be sent to them . You are entitled to a second opinion. This was a game changer for my mum .
Post op is also excellent as they have an entire high dependency unit set up just for liver resections . We travelled from a different city to access it .
Despite an extensive spread my mum had segments 1 to 3 still clear . She had chemo first to get better margins because unlike other organs apparently you get away with less of a margin in the liver .
You really might want to consider consulting with a specialist liver unit to see if there is any options for you there .
Please get in touch with me if you require more information .
My mum was right side ascending . She has no bag to manage and her liver has remained clear for six years .
Take care ,
Stu
