Three years ago I was diagnosed with a 15cm fibrolomelar carcinoma on my liver, with no signs of the cancer having spread anywhere else. My liver was resected, but approximately one year ago, I had a reoccurance. For nine months I was treated with adriamyacin and 5FU chemotherapy treatments with the results being that the tumors (my new tumors are on an adjucent lymph node and my liver and are approx 2-3 cm) did not grow. I was taken off of the therapy to see what would happen. Three months later I have a 3cm node in my lungs and the tumor on my lymph node has grown also. At this point, what are my treatment options. I am looking for a second third and fourth opinion.
Any options at this point will be considered as I am 24, never smoked, drank, had hepatitis or been over seas. I have a wife and two children. Please help me if you can.

Dear david Walker,
I have discussed your information with our transplant hepatologists. They suggested that you contact the National Cancer Institute to learn if they have any special protocols for patients with your problem.
Best of luck.
