Hi

I would do the pump. I dont know...My husband had to have surgery to remove 80% of his liver because it was so diesesed...and they didn't know it until they opened him up that there were so many small tumors inside. The tumor that they removed (with most of his liver) was 13cm. That's huge! But then they also burned what they could see while they had him opend.  Anyway, just in case there are more cells I would opt for something that can ALSO treat your entire liver. Let me know what you do. We also did SIRShpereswhich directly targets the liver and that worked the best as stablilizing his tumor s. They didnt go away, but the stopped growing altogether for 6 months. Good luch and seek out ALL resources and treatments. U dont have to do what your Docs say...We had to harrass our surgeon for another treatment (sirts) when he kept saying theres nothing else we could do and then we got to do the SIRSpheres and that was extremely beneficial! So go with your own informed descision and trust your insticts! U have to trust your Docs too but always trust yourself more!
