Thank you for your kindness, Kristen. My e-mail is lplunkett@kc.rr.com. If you e-mail me there, I will give you all of my information regarding the liver specialist I went to. He is a great surgeon..I just don't know if I should post his name on the web. I will read the other post as well.
Hope to here from you soon. See you at the support group.
Laura
