Hi guys,
I am 30 years old and have recurrent primary liver cancer with lung mets. Below is my medical history. I don't seem to be repsonding to my latest clinical trial chemo treatment. Anyone with any treatment suggestions (chemo / clinical trials / alternative) please advise.
BTW, I am in Malaysia (small southeast asian country) so hope you don't suggest doctors/hospitals but rather the treatment itself, thanks!
My cancer history:
- hepatitis B carrier from childhood
- single HCC tumor found in liver's left lobe in May 2004
- underwent resection at Stanford Hospital in June 2004
- recurrence detected in May 2005 - another tumor in liver AND several more in lungs
- underwent Avastin + Xeloda clinical trial in Singapore
- After cycle 2, CT shows tumor stopped growing although AFP is still climbing
- After cycle 4, CT shows tumors grown by 10% - but still considered as stable disease
- Still on the trial but not optimistic that I will respond, hence looking for other types of treatment
PS. Has ANYONE ever survive advanced liver cancer with chemo for more than 5 years???
Regards,
CH.
