Storyboard Text
- The patient is experiencing symptoms of liver cancer. Skin discoloration has worsened. Our evaluation shows abdominal swelling caused by white stools and lack of bile in from liver.
- We'll have to run a blood test, and an MRI/CT scan to diagnose the Liver cancer. Schedule a meeting for me with the patient to discuss possible treatment.
- I've lost my appetite, I have throbbing abdominal pain, and I've lost weight. What's happening to me Doc?
- The blood tests and MRI scan have shown us that you are experiencing the early stages of liver cancer, which affects the upper right side of your abdominal area.
- Doc how could this have happened to me?
- Liver cancer lacks a strong hereditary component so It's likely not inherited, however your overconsuption of alchohol has likely led you to develop this type of cancer.
- Why me Doc? I was an average healthy male!
- More than 800,000 people are diagnosed with liver cancer worldwide each year, and is a common form of cancer, especially in males. In addition, long term alchol use has been linked to an increased risk of liver cancer.
- Liver cancer can be removed through surgery/liver transplant, or radiation in cases where the cancer can't be removed. Practcing sobriety will effectiely reduce the chance of liver cancer returning.
- What treatments Doc? What habits?
- The cells in your liver are growing out of control affecting the function of your liver. Beating liver cancer will require immediate treatment and prevention habits.
- In our case, our best option is to surgically remove the cancer. You'll be just fine so long you limit your alcohol consumption. and maintain a healthy diet!
- Thanks Doc.
