I had a liver resection after being diagnosed with CC. It’s been over one year and my energy has decreased and I’ve accepted that fact. Did she have a liver resection? I can only share my experience. Being tired is the number one complaint. The doctor did detect one small hernia in the area of my incision. In May, I experienced swelling of my feet, small veins started showing up around my ankles. My feet turn purple if I leave them to hang (like over the end of an exam table at the docs). I was not given any definite answers, except it ‘could probably” be scar tissue that caused the hernia, and poor circulation could have come from the fact I was in the hospital for one month and my hands and feet were extremely cold – where the doctors said that all my energy/blood supply was earmarked to regrowing my liver. I found putting the light compression hosiery helps my feet. I’m 58. I don’t know if age would make any difference. I bruise easily because I’m on an asperin a day. Is your Mom taking an asperin a day. I originally took 325mg, which make me bruise very easily, now I’m on 81mg a day and I still bruise but not as bad. I’ll check in later.
