Chelsea, everyone should have immunity to Hepatitis B.

You may to get vaccinated against Hepatitis A if you’re travelling to areas with poor sanitation or having water supply of questionable source.

Hoiling, great that you’ve signed up!

For those in or around Penang… you can sign up at the Transplant Resource Centre. In Penang, the phone number is 04-2002435/2293333 (ext. 435).

They’ll give you a donor card like this:

I’ve my first vacinnation of Hep B 9 years ago…former blood test shows that the level is running low…I remember a surgeon once told me that the vacin is only important to those whose work need to deal with blood all the time such as doctors and nurse…for cases like me I only need Hep A vacin…so which one is true here???

Judy, yup.. please do (get him to read).

eve, THANK YOU for highlighting that.

Liling, i referred him to the liver surgeon. To me, it looks resectable. It’s definitely worth a try, he’s only forty-something, fit and the CT doesn’t show any obvious spread.
