You Are NOT Alone

There is much to hope for....and the survivors here are happy to share their journey.

By calling The Survivor LIne you can be matched with FRIENDS for the journey - a survivor who had a similar diagnosis or someone who has already experienced treatment. You'll be able to talk with someone who really understands your concerns--someone who has already traveled the path that you are about to take.

Discovering that you or a loved one has liver cancer or metastases to the liver from other cancers is extremely scary. The prognosis can be frightening and options can be few. When the liver is inoperable and there are few other choices, liver directed therapies may be possible. These treatment options provide a novel way of treating some liver tumors. YES provides the opportunity for sharing, caring and learning to those who are interested in or are recovering from treatment. Our programs include a survivor line , FRIENDS for the Journey , tele-group , monthly newsletter , list-serv , quarterly teleconferences , advocacy alerts, and treatment updates. These services are designed for cancer survivors and their loved ones. As life seems to lose control we offer support and hope through the feelings of helplessness, fear, and isolation by providing personal insight. No one should face their treatment decisions alone.

YES is a grassroots organization that was created out of the need to provide cancer patients with experience and insight which can increase the treatment possibilities available for those who have liver involvement. It is made up of survivors who have undergone targeted therapy for primary hepatocellular (liver) cancer or liver metastases (cancer that has spread to the liver) from other cancers. We are an organization dedicated to sharing timely and reliable information. We hope this sharing enables informed choices regarding treatment and recovery. We ultimately strive to enhance the quality of life for all of those affected by liver related tumors.
