Had a liver resection 7/22/11 where they removed a 2 1/2 lb. Tumor. Did not fit profile for hepatacellular carcinoma at all. Drs. Were surprised but, then again, why not me. Have lost most of hair , eyebrows, etc. But they will come back (I hope.). Rash in the beginning, no appetite, sore feet and constant diarrah. Have lost 45 lbs. So far. Could still lose more. Look good and feeling well.
