    Hi Julie,

    You’ll see my name pop up in those threads Marion posted. Keep in mind this is the experience of one patient, but for both surgery and adjuvant chemoradiation I consulted with UCLA and USC. In both cases, USC was far more aggressive with their treatment plans. I now have a recurrence, not unusual for this disease, but USC gave me “disease-free” time I would not otherwise have had.

    If you’re in SoCal, you’re lucky to have two academic centers very familiar with this disease. Get opinions from both.

    All the best to you.

    Hi all,

    I’m looking for anyone who has had treatment at UCLA’s Liver Center. Specifically, I would love to know what your experience was interacting with the oncologist, Dr. Richard Finn, and the surgeon Dr. Busuttil. Are they on the more conservative or aggressive side of treatment plans?

    Your help is much appreciated!

    Thanks!
    Julie
