Hi Dunedigger
My liver resection surgery is scheduled for 03/08/09. There are 4 tumors on the right side of my liver. The surgeons are removing approx. 3/4's of the right side of the liver. I am praying that this surgery will be my saviour from this nasty disease. Like you, I am tired of this disease. I want my life back know matter how many operations I have to have. I am having the operation at Westmead Hospital. That's where my Dr's want me to be so even though I was absolutely unimpressed with the hospital during my first operation I do not have much choice about the location. My Dr's want me where the best specialists and equipment can be accessed.
I will keep you updated. Stay in touch.

Hi Danni
Thank you so much for your kind words of support. Sounds like you have been through a great deal yourself.
You are right. I have faith in the Dr's that are treating me and I believe that they are doing all that they possibly can to help me. I am scheduled for liver resection surgery on 03/08/09. I am praying that this surgery will release me from the grip that this nasty disease has on me. I feel like it has stolen my life away and I intend to fight with everything I have in me to get it back.
Your email has given me comfort and the courage to keep fighting. Thank you.

Hi Dunedigger
Thank you for the encouragement. I need people like you around me right now. I have my 1st procedure this Friday, embolization of the portal vein to the right side of my liver, and then in 3 weeks time I will have a liver resection. Approx 3/4 of the right side of the liver must be removed.
I am normally an extremely positive person. At the moment I'm just a bit afraid. But rest assured I will fight! There is no way that I am going quietly. I just turned 44, have a delightful 12 year old son and a very loving and supportive husband. I have everything to live for!
Thank you for you support. Can you tell me about your resection? Helps to know I am not alone.

Hi everyone,
After having a successful bowel resection back in 2009 and being declared 'cancer free' I have now been told by my oncologist that I have mets of the liver. I have not even completed my 12 cylces of chemo yet. Just finished my 7th last week. I am due for a PET scan on 23 June and am devasted by this new challenge. Has anyone else been through this? I thought I was winning. It sems that I am not. Any advice from anyone right now would help.
Thanks
Jasmine
