My friends husband has just been told he has cancer of the liver. I want to save her time, and was wondering if any of you can recommend a good site to start researching liver cancer? I get several responses when I google it, thought some of you might be more information. Thank you!!!!!!
Cathy
Hi Cathy,
I don't know of sites like ours with regard to liver cancer, but at cancer.gov there will be discussions of grading and staging and treatments by stage, I would think. In addition, many of the major cancer treatment centers, such as MD Anderson and Memorial Sloan Kettering have fairly extensive information services at their web sites, which you can get by googling these (I thought I had saved those web addresses, but did not). I wish them luck and if they have trouble finding those sites just contact me and I will find the web addresses again. Hope your week is off to a good start, otherwise.
JJ
Thanks, That points us in a couple of good directions.
Cathy
Okay, back again with web addresses.

mda = http://www.mdanderson.org/patient-and-cancer-information/cancer-information /cancer-types/liver-cancer/index.html
national cancer institute = http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/types/liver/
These are liver cancer specific and the NCI is primary liver cancer specific (not metastatic to liver which is far more common than primary liver ca.).
Hope this is of some help.

Hi Cat,
Inspire does have a liver cancer group. Unfortunately, it is not as big as this one but you may still meet someone that can get you started in the right direction. It is here:

Hope this helps,
Beth, TeamInspire
Thanks for your input Beth. I guess I should be embarrassed that I didn't check that out and find that out first.
JJ
No need for that! It's much smaller then this group so the resources you cited may actually be more helpful!
