Same type as mine. Apparently very similar symptoms that tipped me off tipped him off too. Intense and incessant itching, discolored urine, jaundiced eyes. Just saw a picture of him from recently where his eyes were remarkably yellow, again much like mine were. He’s undergone the same surgeries I had…stents in the liver and a Whipple procedure (though my surgeon left my pancreas in tact). Slated for radiation and chemo. He’s got a long road ahead but being in otherwise good health and relatively young (he’s 47, normally if you get it you’re much older, like 15-20 years older, and hopefully that works in his favor with regards to treatment. Hopeful his public diagnosis brings more attention to this rare and aggressive beast.

Sorry to hear about this...liver cancer is not something to sneeze at. All the best to you...
Thanks! With a survival rate of 8-9% (for my location and stage) hitting five years was a remarkable achievement for me due not so much to me but an incredibly skilled set of oncologists (two in particular…my surgical oncologist and my medical oncologist), nurses, etc., not to mention the grace of God.

I know people who are 15+ year survivors, and some who were dead within weeks to months. I hope and pray that Moss falls into the former category.
