Default One of the ITR fourm's finest has come down with Liver cancer.

Well about 2 months ago Thomas aka tjtruong was diagnosed with liver cancer and a recent post in the members corner has let the rabbit out of the bag. I did not want to spill the bean with out Thomas's consent. I talked to him tonight and he wanted me to break it down for all of you.

Well Dennis (B2FiNiTY) and I drove up North to pay Thomas a visit and show our support a week and a half ago and we went with him to Stanford University to see a liver cancer specialist and well for the first time in 2.5 weeks we got some good news. (general hospital told him nothing could be done)

They informed Thomas that his liver was infected little more than half with cancer and also his gul bladder. The doctor was suprised to see the tumor had gotten so big with out any sign. The tumor is about the size of my head and for it to be that big it must have been there for at least a year in a half to two years. So this friday they are going in to take the tumor out along with part of his liver and his entire gul blader.

Thomas is a dear friend of mine and I would do anything in my power to help him out. My prayers and thoughts go out to you man and I know you are going to beat this bitch.

I will keep all you fellow ITR members informed as to what happens Friday and will let you know how all turns out if you have any ?'s IM me or post up and I will answer any you may have.

Chris

WOW!....is all i can say. Friend of the family just found out the reason for his headaches. Poor kid has a brain tumor and he's only twenty!

Thomas hang in there buddy. I'm not the most religious guy but i'll pray for you.

Is it normal for these things to happen at a young age?

NO it is not. It is just that some of us sometimes get the bad luck and the wierd thing is that liver cancer is usualy caused by family genes or lots of witch thomas has niether prob.
