B肝治療
Dr. Chen diagnosed that I had liver cancer in 1996 &  I immediately asked 2^nd opinion.
           Dr. Chen after CT scan she found small liver  cancer. 
She suggested me to find a cure either in Taiwan or Japan:
1.Proposal one was to have liver operation in Taiwan because liver disease is #1 killer in Taiwan  
    and  has know-how.
2.If I had relative in Japan that would be an ideal alternative. Medical department of Tokyo 
    University  had already started liver transplantation in its hospital. 

 Before I started tripe to see Professor Makuuchi in Tokyo University, it came to my mind that I have a relative who was a scientist of working in ROCHE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS in New Jersey. I called her home and told her about my situation.

Joyce Chang was once invited scholar to China to give medical research seminar. I believed with her research I could get 1^st hand information about liver cancer. She spent time and sent me what she could come up with. After reading the articles she faxed me, I knew of the followings:

1. Liver transplantation was still in its early stage.

2. Based on data at that time from Taiwan and Japan, those patients with A-FP ratio abnormal double digit were sign of early liver cancer. That information was collected from data of hospitals submitted for evaluation and reference in medical field from both countries.

3. There were many methods reported to remove the cancer cell by operation. Operation with laser and combination with chemotherapy and other methods were used to help cancer patient. The 2~5 years survival were reported. Yet the recurrence is still unavoidable.

4. Liver transplantation is still the best and final resolution.

With all the information provided, I knew what I was to deal with was a mean enemy. I am a fighter not surrender.  I have to fight the war with all the resources I can get. As it turned
out in Tokyo, Dr. Makuuchi did not consider it cancer with all data clarified by CT-cscan
blood test and Echo-sound monitor. I was still an active HBV patient.
