Joanna,
I am so sorry you were treated like this from an oncologist, she needs to retire her white coat. I am happy to read that the ICU doctor gave you hope and encouragement. Praying for your Mom.

This is soooo exciting!

Thanks for sharing Gavi

Virginia,
I had six months of chemo following both of my liver resections and it was a solid year before I felt like myself again. I still get fatigued and I have trouble falling asleep at night . My first resection was in sept. 2010 and my second resection was aug. 2011. I recently had the same incision opened up to repair three incisional hernias. My advice is to take it slow, don’t overdo it,wear a binder if you will be lifting anything…avoid hernias!!!!

Love to read good news…..normal is wonderful! Hope you can be done wth steroids soon, they made me fluffy, anxious and hungry.
Love

Rob,
Chemo or no chemo is such a hard decision and only you can make that choice. Either way, I totally agree with Kris about a healthy lifestyle. I love to juice and eat mostly organic produce and food items, very little processed food and when I eat meat, I eat organic. I try to limit sugar but since chemo I crave it..so hard!!!! If you make a decision of no chemo I would have blood work and tumor markers done every 8 weeks.
