what do they do for a liver ablation? I've had ablation surgery on my cervix for cancer cells - but I didn't know they could do that on the liver...that's great!
Far as I know it's when a needle probe is placed into the tumour and heated to above 60 centigrade. This heat destroys the tumour cells, and by using ultrasound/ct scans they can position the needle into the tumour, without damaging normal cells/or reducing any damage to normal cells.
Hi Millie, the liver ablation was done yesterday afternoon. Mike was then taken to ICU, as a precaution because he has sleep apnea. I've not seen him yet, only talked by phone. Dr to see him today and Mike may even be home later. If not, it will be tomorrow. I'm also a carer for our son wih a severe mental illness.
Oh that's good to hear , glad it's all been done now , hope Mike is home soon and you have some answers from the doctor today , oh bless , you must have so much to do . My sister is also a carer for her son too who had autism and disbetes . Sending my best wishes to you all , and thank you for letting me know Christine .. Linda X
