    Thank you everyone for the wonderful welcome – how touching to have so many kind and encouraging responses! ShariMay I would love to meet you in person some time if you are up for it! Maybe lunch or something – it does sound like our stories are very similar. I am wondering did you have your surgery in Mayo? Is your oncologist there too? Also what made them decide to do chemo? My tissue around the tumor was negative so that is why they opted not to do chemo but it sounds that yours was too so I am curious. The surgeon I had thought they would do chemo but the oncologist said no. Anxious to hear from you and everyone else! Thanks again! Val

    Hi Valarie….wanted to also send a warm welcome to you. Hopefully, you and Shari will have a chance to meet in person. Speaking of my own experience of meetings patients or, their caretakers in person I can only encourage you to do so. I loved every minute of it.
    All my best wishes,
    Marion

    Welcome to the family. So happy to hear that your resection went well. I really agree with Lainy that Attitude is so very important. Staying positive, enjoying every moment and making them count – cancer or not. Please feel free to share whatever you are going through. I couldn’t have made it without this website but mostly without Lainy! Blessings, Susan

    Hello All – My name is Valarie from Bismarck ND and I was diagnosed on November 19 of this year. I had surgery that day and they removed 1/2 my liver cutting it in two pieces. The tumor was incapsulated and they opted not to do chemo at this time. Just looking to meet new people and share stories. Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder what is going on in my body but I am keeping positive. Sounds like this is one of the worse cancers we could have come up with. Looking forward to visiting with you….
