    So would you get one treatment per week or per day?

    SRengle, they are opening up a new CTCA in Newnan GA which is just south of Atlanta ( about 40miles) I think next week. I have already contacted them about my mother but because she only has medicare they could not see her until December ( which I am being told they will start accepting all Medicare patients. ) It’s worth a try for you . Good luck!

    I think I will call her regular MD tomorrow to see if she could be cleared for the trip. My brother has a minivan she could lay back in. I just fear they are not moving fast enough. She still hasn’t even had the PET scan yet.

    I’m going to do my best to talk her into coming back to Atlanta with me this weekend. She’s telling me she doesn’t feel up to the ride and I understand, she just had major abdominal surgery and a 10 day hospital stay. But I don’t want to waste time. I would feel much better if she were up here with us.

    I have one more question, how can it be that her liver is fine and liver enzymes are normal if this cancer effects the liver? I’m sorry I’m just having a hard time understanding.

    Thank you, that is what they have told us is stage 2, may I ask how old you were at diagnoses? Will her age play any part of her not getting the liver surgery? She is 74 and will be 75 in November.

    I’m sorry I am new to this site as well, I keep reading about resecting, what is this what is the procedure? Why do people need it and in what way does it help?
