This is probably to late to be of help, but, just in case – I had a resection at Hermann Hospital, done by Dr. John Stevenson Bynon. I would recommend him very highly! The surgery went extremely well. He has an excellent reputation for liver transplants and Hermann Memorial was an excellent hospital. You are welcome to contact me directly if you would like any other information (vsawin@ctesc.net).
I have been followed by Dr. Rachna Schroff at MDAnderson. She specializes in liver cancers and sees a number of patients with cholangiocarcinoma. I have been very pleased with her care.
Best of luck to you!
VirginiaNote to Lisacraine:
You said you had liver resection with 75% removal of right sections. That is similar to my surgery. Was this recent? I have found it to be a very long slow recovery. I am still feeling the effects – less energy, less stamina, abdominal muscle soreness. Also, noticed that my right shoulder is now a little lower than the left. I could attribute this (other than the shoulder) to being 2 years older, but I think the surgery contributes. Interested to know your experiences.Note to all:
I attribute my success to an internist who was concerned enough with the aberrant liver enzymes on the routine annual to follow up with other tests that led to a rapid diagnosis and to the skill of the surgeon in getting all the apparent cancerous cells and the luck in getting him involved in my case! I am a strong advocate of regular physical exams.Thank you all for your comments! Appreciate the notes and wish the best to all!
