Yes, I've had ablation on both lobes of the liver, both done @ City of Hope Duarte. The first one was done as a part of a much larger surgery (they installed a hepatic pump and did some ablation and some liver resection at that time. The second time they went thru my rib and and that one was literally an outpatient procedure . After that one I was tender for a short wile and had just a few stiches thru about a 1 1/2 inch incision. They worked well for me. I had over 41 tumors (radiology stopped counting) when I started, and I do not have any now (at least not in my liver...dealing with the ones in my lung right now). Wishing you the best...

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

My cancer has metastasized to my liver and my doctor is talking about ablation or embolization. Has anyone had either done for colon cancer? How does it work? Is it painful?
