Hello,

My father is 58 yrs old has hepatitis C and cirrohisis, has 2 tumors, nonresectable, one is 2 cm and the other is approx. 4 cm.  is CK an option?  I have been trying to reach the CK facility here in Houston but have not heard back yet, his doctors are wanting him to have TACE done on Monday and I wanted to check to see if this is possibly more effective? 

thank you!

CK is certainly a reasonable option.  I would definitely obtain a consultation or opinion from that CK facility in conjunction with whatever else you are pursuing.
