hcc at mid-30s

[rosy888]

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and glad to find many useful discussion here.
I am in my mid-30s and recently just had a liver resection due to hcc. Good thing is it's caugh in early stage...

Brief history:
-got hepB probably at birth
-ALT elevated for a few years in my 20s (in the 50~100 range; not treated that time due to no effective drug available and want to have baby first)
-ALT got back to normal in the past few years, together with lower virus DNA (decreased from 10^7 to <2000 copy); also eAg became netagive while eAb became positive)
-normal ultrasound findings (monitor every 6 month) in the past few years

However, a few months ago, a tumor was found caugh by AFP and comfirmed by MRI. Have been on Baraclude since then (never got treated before).

My questions are:
1. why hcc was found suddently although test results seem to suggest everything was getting better in the past few years(normal ALT, low virus load, e-seroconversion) ?
2. is  Baraclude the best option for me?
3. any other things I should consider/try to prevent re-occurance?

Any comment/suggestion would be highly appreciated!

a very good example is the diet i used to clear my fatty liver and results showed up in as little as few months, that diet is the same for all metabolic related diseases, cancer prevention included.it has very little proteins so legumes must be included to balance the almost zero meat/diary products

if you follow my old posts you ll see all my diet and efforts, i am also in same situation as you since my hcc risk is very very high.started with cirrhosis in 2009 with precore bcp mutations.
by use of antivirals and especially diet and heptech protocol i regressed cirrhosis as early as 2 years (never reported cases so fast, antivirals require 5years or more to regress cirrhosis)

so diet is essential followed by antivirals or antivirals+intf according to situation

the alkaline diet is good for keeping good health for general population and especially for us, i use baking powder from pharmacy in pure form and dissolve in some water but barley in ht water is good too

i dont eat any sugar anymore, use very little diary products (full of hormones and antibiotics), almost no salt.in a short time you get used to taste without them, sensitivity increases so you feel the salt or sweet of the foods direclty
avoid refined foods and try to eat as many vegetables as you can, for cancer the diet indicates 5 portions of fruit and vegetables daily, this is too much but if you canget close to this it is good

coofee cucurmin and various spieces have anticancer effect just check this community or google.
in case hcc is from chemical in your bodyfrom pollution or chemical in food glutathione in liposomes by livonlabs helps clear the body from this stuff

this is an eample, use google chrome for translation, i m sure even this diet changes cannot save everybody from cancer when it is there but i am sure these changes can prevent most of cancer cases, at least this is also what research says

I'm sorry to hear abt ur Hcc, but its a good thing u discovered it early and had it removed. May I know what size was the tumor when it was first discovered? I ask because I know some liver cysts or nodules are benign and I wonder how soon can this be confirmed.

I recently had an u/s and then an MRI to followup on a 6mm suspected liver hemangioma on u/s. but MRI was not conclusive as it said it is too tiny to diagnose anything conclusive. Till now I do not know what that means. They just told me to followup again in 6mths. My AFP was 0.8. I am worried what this nodule may be.

"also have a look on livonlabs liposomes, use of vit c in liposomes and glutathione can help a great deal to keep oxidative stress normal and oxidative stress is a promoter of dna damage, so better have it normal

also baking soda can be of use, cancers need acid ph to develop, you can take a spoon of baking soda to keep your ph at about 7 or little higher than 7 but less than 8, you can check your ph by urine ph
also barley in some water can be used to keep acidity low but baking soda is more potent ."

Interesting info.  I heard about alkaline diet, but never heard of taking baking soda directly (take it in power form?)...
"barley in some water": just soak raw barley in (hot?) water and drink the water?

Thanks

Hi Stef, thanks a lots for your input/suggestion!  A couple questions here:

no sugars: you mean no added sugar, or even avoid sweet foods (fruits etc)?
low lipids: should limit healthy lipids (such as omega-3 from walnut) as well?

"food is full of chemicals even from the farmers, pesticides, hormones antibiotics and so on.it can be very very easy to develop hcc from these checmicals in food than from hbv ."

These days I keep wondering how much does hbv, diet, stress etc play role in my development of hcc.... your point of view is a bit surprised to me - if asked to rank in the order of significance, I would had put: hbv~stress > diet (for me, I paid quite a lot of attention trying to eat healthy although not as strict as you just suggested; but didn't manage well on stress in the past few years) ....
