11 days agoI was diagnosed with Hepatocelluar Carcinoma. In October 2025.had Surgery on Dec 5th to remove two large tumors. The Largest one was 9cm it was resected the smaller one was 6cm it was ablated. January 6 the pain caused me to go to the er. More pain pills that didn't actually help. Called the Surgeon repeatedly. No reply. Finally had to request another CT or MRI. It appears that I now have additional tumors. Just referred to An Oncologist. I really don't like the Care I'm receiving. .

11 days agoWhen cancer returns after surgery, the next steps typically involve meeting with an oncology team to discuss treatment options, which might include additional surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or other approaches depending on the specific situation. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated with poor communication from healthcare providers - advocating for better care and seeking a second opinion are both reasonable steps when the current medical team isn't meeting expectations for responsiveness and support.
