Hi,
This is Lisa again. I'm writing again today (6/20/08) for the sake of anyone else who reads this and is wondering themselves about surgery vs. other treatments. I had the liver resection surgery 4 weeks ago today & am glad I chose the surgery. It turns out that 3 additional tumors were found during surgery, which had never shown up on any CT scans in the past. The surgeon said this was because they were small, not very dense, & near the surface of the liver. If I had some other method however (RFA or Cyberknife), these extra tumors wouldn't have been discovered. Also, interesting to note that even though nothing lit up anymore on the PET scan, the pathology of the removed tumors all showed up as positive for cancer. I'm glad I had the surgery!
