Hi, although we've not been in contact with MSK yet I have been wondering about the pump ... my husband has several liver mets.. no further spread, would the fact that his colon has not been resected disqualify him ?
Thank you
For those who have had HAI pump .. I have a question

No it would not. They very commonly place the pump and do a colon resection at the same time. That’s what I did. And then we followed with two liver resections.

I did those surgeries separately.

Good Luck! It sounds like perfect candidate for HAI. I met Dr. Kemeny in August 2015 with 10+ liver mets, no further spread. I am doing well, NED off chemo since 05/2016.
