How to Survive Liver Cancer (Real Examples)

Two examples below

Fay Polson

Fay Polson was looking forward to retirement when she went to her doctor with a feeling of pressure in her abdomen. Finally a CT scan and a biopsy revealed that she was suffering from liver cancer. Her doctor wanted to give her direct chemo to the liver and told her that there was a 50 percent chance that she would survive.

Then she went to the Cancer Treatment Center at Tulsa where surgery was done and a tumor removed. She had both chemo and radiation. But a year later, the tumor reappeared and she had surgery again. She had to have two more surgeries after that to remove the tumors which had again resurfaced. Subsequently follow up visits have shown that she is cancer free.

Danielle Duran Baron

Prior to undergoing liposuction, at the age of 28, Danielle Duran Baron from Brazil had blood tests which revealed tumor markers and subsequent visits to doctors and an ultrasound found that she had liver cancer. She had surgery and two rounds of chemoembolization and then was declared cured.

Later she married and moved to Maryland, but a visit to her home in Brazil again once again showed tumors. She decided to have surgery in Brazil because the doctors there were familiar with her case and also had chemo. Her follow up scans and Johns Hopkins have shown no recurrence. Currently she is active at the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults and is determined not to let her bout with cancer rule her life.
