    Maggie-CONGRATS!!! CONGRATS MOM!! Everyone knows I post all the time because I want to give HOPE!! I think in my 6 years of being a CC family member, the tide is slowly changing and there is more long term survivors, which is partly because of the sharing of symptoms, trials, and doctors that happens in this forum.
    I know for me I share my story because for every exciting moment and milestone I have had, there are two families not making the memories and milestones. I share, to honor my donors and give HOPE!!
    Maggie and family keep popping in and giving HOPE, you are an inspiration.
    Thank you God, 2 strangers, and Dr. Chapman for this post!!
    Cathy,

    Matt-I am not sure if only the “most healthy” is correct. I was 40 plus pounds overweight and had cancer!! The gentleman who was just transplanted is diabetic.
    I think the key to our treatment and success is to have all info presented and ruled out by a doctor who believes there is options.
    Matt I think your case is a great example of exploring options.
    Lots of prayers for continued success-Cathy

    Duke I am a 5 year cancer free CC survivor thanks to God, 2 strangers and Dr. Chapman. Dr. Chapman saved my life twice. I was blessed by my first miracle, that the doctor who diagnosed me knew my only HOPE was a transplant trial with Dr. Chapman. I skipped all the nonsense that most CC patients must go through looking for HOPE and answers, because I had a gastronoligst who was educated in CC and all the options out there.
    I have shared my story so many times as Wayne has that at least 4 families have had contacted Dr. Chapman and have had there whole prognosois changed. I also know of women in Texas who was told by her doctor, who one HOPE was to contact Dr. Chapman and see if saw something he didn’t, that is a sign of of a great doctor, the patient before his ego. Dr. Chapman couldn’t help her. Last week Dr. Chapman had 2 CC patients on the transplant floor (one for a resection and one for a transplant) because I could share my story on our site. The transplant patient was told he wasn’t a candidate for transplantation by the Mayo Clinic. I am sure Brenda will add more of her journey to save her husband later.
    Duke I use this forum to let people know there is HOPE, I am not medically savey, I just know there is an educated kind and caring man out there who knows CC. I agree with Wayne, doctors should be helping us find educated doctors who have had success with curing CC, Thanks to Dr. Chapman I am not only a cancer survivor, I can say I am cured. The one thing my hero, Dr. Chapman, Wayne and I always want people to know have your options for a transplant or resection ruled out by someone who believes they are an option.
    I HOPE more CC patients can run marathons 6 months later like Daisy’s mom, I HOPE more CC survivors hit the 5 year cancer free mark to say they are cured……
    Thank you Wayne for being such an advocate for CC and all you do to let people know about our HERO even after your story didn’t have the perfect ending.

    Jim, I am excited to see Dr. Chapman on your list!! He is my hero and saved my life twice. When he told my husband he had 12-14 hours to find me another liver, Jeff (my husband) says ” I knew he would, I never thought you wouldn’t make it”!!

    Diana Welcome and sorry you had to find us. I am excited to say I am 16 days away from 5 years cancer free!! I was inoperable and had 6-8 months to live. I believe my story is in the loose note leaf section of this site under the foundation site. I did a video for Barnes Hospital with my hero Dr. William Chapman.

Dr. Chapman is the most kind and amazing doctor, with so much heart and soul, and internationally recognized doctor. Dr. Chapman is ALSO phone friendly!!! Please contact me if I can help or you would like to talk. (618-567-3247)

    I always credit a new neighbor/friend for saving my life, she asked if I had been in a car accident because I had so many sores from scratching. I look back and realize there was a lot of signs I also ignored. I own a lawn care company and work outdoors, just thought it was heat, allergies….that made crazy itchy (no bristles left on my hairbrush, forks, knives…) I was also over weight (even though, I had been excersicing eating better and being healthier and losing weight the last 8 months) so I chalked all the nausea, heartburn, shoulder pain abdominal pain to being over weight. Her comment is what made me go to doctor. I was very blessed that since my regular doctor was on vacation I ended up with a very knowledgable doctor who did one ERCP and came out and said “I know what I saw, I know it will come back a false negative and her only HOPE is a liver transplant”! I had my diagnose and cure in 5 minutes very very rare for our cancer! More interesting is my tumor was only 2cm.!!
    I am excited to say I am 22 days away from the 5 year cancer free day!!!
    There is HOPE!!!
    Thank you God, 2 strangers and Dr. Chapman for giving me this post!!!
