I would be interested in seeing that myself. I also wonder\nwhat is their criteria for a doctor to be considered as the best doctor? What is the decision based on? And really, a best doctor for one person, might not be the best for another person......

Have a look on the NHS.gov website.  They're very good at plucking targets and stuff out of thin air without consulting the medics at the coal face!!  When I snuff it, I'm coming back to sort out the NHS as my biggest strength I am told is bringing order out of chaos!!

Memorial sloan kettering in NY. They are rated number one by Usa today. I also know through personal experience - I was not given much of a chance of survival and chose to go to them. I had appendiceal cancer which spread to the colon, bladder and ovaries. After 12 hours of surgery (chemo and radiation)and a year later I am cancer free.

I would start by seeing a general ophthalmologist.  He/she might then refer you to an ophthalmologist that specializes in oncology or oculoplastics.

In people who develop chronic hepatitis, the goals of treatment are to stop the virus from multiplying while liver damage is still reversible.\n\nGeneral measures — All persons infected with chronic hepatitis B should be vaccinated against hepatitis A unless they are already known to be immune. Pneumococcal vaccine and yearly influenza vaccination should be considered in patients who have developed cirrhosis.\n\nRegular screening for liver cancer is also recommended, particularly for older individuals, those with cirrhosis, and patients with family history of liver cancer. In general, this entails an annual or biannual ultrasound examination and blood test for serum alpha fetoprotein level (a protein frequently produced by liver tumors, which is detectable in blood). The best approach to screening for liver cancer has not been determined.\n\nAntiviral therapy — Four currently available drugs slow or stop multiplication of the hepatitis B virus: lamivudine, adefovir, entecavir and interferon-alpha. Not all hepatitis B patients will benefit from approved treatments. The physician and the patient should discuss treatment options after a careful assessment of the individual's conditions. Regular monitoring is needed during treatment to assess for response, side effects and drug resistance, and for relapse after treatment is stopped. Regular monitoring is also needed if treatment is deferred, as some patients may benefit from treatment when the hepatitis becomes more active later on.\n\nLamivudine — Lamivudine (Epivir-HBV) is a good first treatment for people with chronic hepatitis B who have detectable virus activity and ongoing liver inflammation. Lamivudine is also appropriate for people who have had a poor response to interferon-alpha, people who have worsening cirrhosis, and people who experience sudden liver failure.\n\nStudies suggest that long-term treatment with lamivudine (treatment for at least one year) decreases virus levels and reduces inflammation of the liver.\n\nLamivudine is taken orally, usually at a dosage of 100 mg/day, for at least one year. Although it is very safe, the drug can trigger a flare of hepatitis in some people and can also be associated with uncommon side effects that you should discuss with your doctor. The major problem with lamivudine is that a resistant form of hepatitis B virus (referred to as a YMDD mutant) frequently develops in patients on long-term treatment. Appearance of the mutant virus may be accompanied by a marked increase in virus level and a flare of hepatitis, and in rare instances liver failure. As new drugs with lower rates of drug resistance become available, lamivudine is used less commonly in patients who require long-term treatment.\n\nAdefovir — Adefovir (Hepsera) is an alternative initial choice for people who have detectable virus activity and ongoing liver inflammation. An advantage of adefovir compared to lamivudine is that resistance to the drug occurs at much lower rates. In addition, adefovir can suppress lamivudine- resistant hepatitis B mutants. Adefovir has been associated with kidney problems when used in high doses or for long durations, so kidney function needs to be checked before and during treatment.\n\nAdefovir is taken orally, at a dosage of 10 mg/day, for at least one year. Most patients will need long-term treatment to maintain control of the hepatitis B virus.\n\nEntecavir — Entecavir (Baraclude) is another choice for people who have detectable virus activity and ongoing liver inflammation. It is a relatively new drug so its benefits and safety are still being determined. An advantage compared with lamivudine and adefovir is its greater potency against the hepatitis B virus. So far, resistance seems to be very rare. A disadvantage is its

If the cancer is localized and has not spread to the lymph nodes then if can be removed surgically. The best shot for a cure is a liver transplant for a localized cancer. If the cancer is larger than 5 cm or has spread then chemo might prolong survival time but also might not. You have to ask whether the goals of treatment are worth the side effects. There are other treatments available that will slow liver cancer besides chemo like implanted radioactive beads but again this all depends on whether this is primary liver cancer, whether it has spread and how big it is.\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/livercancer.html\n\nThis is a US link because most of the UK links included too many ads.

Liver disease can be a very difficult problem to deal with for people. As long as you stay in touch with his doctors and get him all the services and care he needs, you will ensure that his condition is optimized. \n\nYour father has Cirrhosis. This is a chronic liver diseases (usually due to Hepatitis) where the normal liver cells are damaged and replaced by scar tissue. Basically, the amount of normal liver tissue is decreased. Liver disease is common in the US (ranked 8th as a cause of death in the United States).\n\nYour dad's Gastroenterologist would make this diagnosis and it sounds like he is getting worked up for Cirrhosis. Without knowimg more details about him it may be hard to say but it seems unlikely that he has cancer. \nCancer of the liver is usually diagnosed by imaging, clinical picture and labwork (serum AFP). The most common (primary) malignancy of the liver is hepatocellular carcinoma. The only treatment is liver transplant. However, this surgery is very complicated. \n\nYou can help your father by watching his SALT intake, making sure he takes his medications and that he gets to his appointments. (Develope a close relationship with his Gastroenterologist/ Hepatologist.)\n\n It's very hard to have an ill parent. My father (in his early sixties) died of cancer a few years ago and it was a difficult time for my entire family. Catering to a sick parent became a shared responsibility for entire family and, emotionally, I know it was the most difficult for my mother. We got through it with the suppport of our friends and eachother.   I think back and really appreciate the time I had with him. I cherish my memories of him and the big impact he has had on my life. \n\nI wish you and your dad the best.
