Liver Cancer

Like Wingover79 my Father-In-Law is also battling secondary Liver Cancer at the moment. As well as the Chemo he has changed his diet to strictly organic food (not as bad as it seems to be honest as I have also done the same) but he is also looking into possibally going vegetarian/vegan to help boost his immune system and keep all the nasties out that are present in everyday food!

At the Hammersmith Hospital in London there is a surgeon there who says that he can operate on the Liver, as per StandTo's post, although he will can only operate on growths that are less than a ceratin diameter and that have been shown to respond to Chemo. Fortunately for us this has been the case and we are hoping to get some positive news. The surgeon's name eludes me at the moment, but if I can remember it I will re-post it here.

The most important thing is to keep positive, the chemo is as bad as the disease somedays but you have to think of it as your friend, my thoughts are with you.
