I was diagnosed with liver cancer in 3/2002. From there things get a little foggy because I was Very sick(ill) and terminal 30 days at a glance. This is just a synopsis as I recall, not from the medical standpoint, up until May 2018. I had just graduated from college with a 3.85 AAS legal secretary degree at age 42, and landed my first break through job. I noticed my thinking wasn't clear, I am sure that I was doing my job well, but I was asked if I want to apply for Soc Sec by one of the partners but my boss stood up for me . My roommate needed a full blood test by a gastrologist in March 2002. He was special needs and refused to go unless I went. 2 days after the test Dr called me in and told me I had liver cancer and about 30 days to live. He started me with another doctor on a drug test trial. We started with Pegasus, which does not work by itself with liver cancer but helps with another chemo. In May of 2003 we moved to Illinois for another drug trial, in May of 2005 there was no change and I was told to go home and say goodbye, and to tell the family it was hep C. In 2007 I rcvd email to go to Milwaukee WI if I still lived. In 2007 a doctor said my cancer test was more neg than pos, in 2008 it was noticed by a visiting oncologist, 2009-2012 really no care I am aware of. 2012 a dr said it was hep C, the town health dept came out and did a wipe down of apt (hep C is contagious) and found no sign of hepatitis. in 2013 I was turned in for soc sec fraud and started a new round of test drug. In 2014 a new test drug came out, and had to be cleaned out of the system a year later. in 2015 a new drug came out and off to the races again. In the next few years new drugs came out, but not the magic little liver pill. Finally in 2017 the magic pill came out. In May of 2016 my first good blood test since 2002, except the number series. In January 2018 my doctors gave up on me, even though my blood tests were still good. I continued chemo (the magic pill I had held onto life to take for years and years) although the drs had pretty much started cleaning my case files up and getting me ready to die. On May 2, 2018 my bloodtests came back very good. May 14 my blood tests were better. May 24 I had my CT and it came back NED. :) I had just joined the smallest survivor group of cancer survivors. Without breaking the liver sac, no transplant, the biopsy caught a tumor just outside the liver sac, I am LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY. And ALIVE.
