Today, the Italian Liver specialist from the Wellington Hospital and Royal Free Hospital in London, has given me a telephone consultation today, after studying my CT scans and history.
He says to me, with great confidence, "Well the first thing we have to do, is put in a stent and drain that bilirubin and get you liver function back'"
"You can do that?" I ask, incredulous.
"It's not dangerous?"
"It's what I do. It's not a problem."
So,I may be admitted to his hospital next week!
And, he can do it in the NHS!
He also works with a renowned OvarianCancer research (trials) specialist with whom he will work.
The whole thing is very exciting and I will know more on Monday or Tuesday.
I am now high as a kite, my friend!
More to come...

Hi Laura, May I ask who the renowned ovarian cancer trials specialist is in case I need to consult. I have the rare low grade ovarian. Best wishes. Gwen
I just noticed this earlier & unfortunately Linda lost her battle after a hard fit only a few months ago & her family put up a post letting us know the terrible news, sorry
