    Hi Triagenurse

    Thanks for the post and your thoughts.  We are going for the surgery as it is the best chance to beat this thing.  My wife has just had a PVE (Portal Vein Embolization) to help grow the good side of the liver, and we will have MRI scan the week after Christmas to see if it has grown sufficiently.

    I really hope everything goes well with you and your chemo and you get your shot at surgery too.

    All the best.

    Hi Bighorn67

    Thanks for sharing that with me, much appreciated.  My wife was not able to have surgery at first but her recent chemo shrunk the bad stuff sufficiently for us to have a crack at it now.  Definitely the right thing to have surgery.  I really hope everything goes well for you.

    All the best

    Hi vtkb and Kristenhall

    Thanks both for the replies and helpful messages.  I really like how everyone seems to be routing for each other on this website.  I really appreciate it.

    My wife is going to have to have PVE first in a couple of weeks, then hopefully by early January the left lobe will have grown sufficiently to have the main op to remove the right lobe.  I am currently sorting out the logistics for the PVE hence my tardy reply!

    I will keep you posted.  Thanks again for your support

    Hi Bglass

    Thanks for your response and sharing your experience.  I am really glad it has worked out so well for you.  It is a tough one to beat so well done!

    We had a follow up call yesterday with the hospital team and we have be doing further research and thinking.  We feel we have to go for surgery as the potential reward is too great to not.  We are ironing out some details of the logistics but this is hopefully the start of the upward trajectory.

    I will keep you posted.

    Thanks again
