Hello Leslie, my name is Celia my husband has the same as yours, his name is Richie. He also just got diagnosed a few weeks ago in December.The doctor here says he cant get the tumor because its too close to the portal vein. Im getting another doctor to see what he can do at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.But first Richie has to undergo another operation to put a new stent in before we leave for Baltimore.I know how you feel this is awful. I have never heard of this until now. Anyway I just wanted to say, I pray for your husband and you. CELIA HINSON
