Neuroendocrine Cancer

Subject: RE: Liver Transplant
Date: 02/13/2008

Hi,

 I had my liver transplant in Dec. 2005 and am doing great now.  I did have one small tumor in the original location (pancreas) return in April 2007, but they removed it easily and I haven't had any additional problems.  The surgeons told me that with neuroendicrine tumors, they are likely to return over time in the original location, if any cells were missed during the surgery, so it wasn't a surprise.  I have a CT scan about every 6 months, have labs drawn once a month to check my liver levels, but I'm in the best health I've ever been in.  The liver transplant is a big surgery, and I had several complications (not due to the transplant itself), but my liver is doing great.  Once you get through the initial surgery, labs are done frequently and it takes a while to get back on your feet, but my life is pretty normal.  I take very few anti-rejection meds, (only 1, actually) and I do everything I used to do before the surgery.  I do take a lot of vitamins and nutritional supplements and follow a diet of fresh (and organic) fruits/vegs, lean meats, lots of water, green tea, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.  I think that has helped a lot, in regards to my health and not much recurrence of tumors.  I hope things go well for your husband.  If I can answer anymore questions, just ask.
