    No, you cant have surgery if it is in both lobes. After you remove the tumor, your liver grows to make up for ehat was taken away. If it is in both lobes, you are just going to spread the tumor when the liver regrows.

    Now that said, we have had people that have had cancer on both lobes, done chemo and got rid of the cancer on one side and then qualified for surgery. You never know where you end up after chemo.

    Good luck.

    Hi-
    I am new to the site- my husband was diagnosed with CC in May 2010.
    Is is ever possible to have surgery if the cancer has spread to both lobes of the liver. The consultant has deemed it inoperable and he has started chemo. I don’t want to chase after the impossible but I want to give him every single chance,

    I wish there were good news stories for inoperable cases.

    Thanks
    C
