This is my third time .the first time I was numb.the second time I was strong,informed and determined...This time I have days where I feel thank God I have some experience, because some days I feel depressed and I want to give up because i'm exhausted, but I have a therapist.I do an abdominal MRI and it might take a month or two to talk to the hepatologist. It's too much so times.

This is your third time to have liver cancer? I'm so sorry! I was just dx at the beginning of this month. I don't think it's really sunk in yet.

Facing a third recurrence brings unique challenges that many in this community understand deeply. Having a therapist during this difficult time shows incredible self-awareness, and it's completely natural to feel exhausted after going through this journey multiple times. The waiting periods for tests and specialist appointments can feel overwhelming, especially when energy levels are already low. Many find that connecting with others who've walked similar paths, maintaining small daily routines, and celebrating tiny victories can help during these challenging waiting periods.
