Pat,
Thanks for the info....I will check the NCI out.
No, the hepatologist did not diagnose cancer...he just told us what the findings were in the records that he had available from the cytology test from the 16 of March. March 16 was the IVP also. The Monday after we returned from the transplant hospital, his urologist called to apologize to us that he was not the one to say the possibility of cancer to us...he wanted to tell us face to face the findings of the cytology test and the results of the IVP.
Fatty Liver is not something that everyone gets. Fatty liver disease - is becoming increasingly common. Left untreated, it can lead to inflammation and scarring. In a liver transplant patient a diagnosis of a fatty liver has to be monitored very closely as it could lead to a need for another transplant. Having Hepatitis C is another concern. That is why we HAD to modify everything that we possibly can to address the fatty liver issue.
Yes, getting old is not what I always thought it would be.
Thanks so much.
