Praying for you & your family...and you don't "need to be a LOT tougher" - you've already proven that you are more than tough enough! Just hang in there...& know that whatever comes your way, you have the tools, support, courage, & everything else you need to get through it.
I hope you find a doc/surg that you respect and trust and LIKE!And it's not too much to ask for ALL of these things. I had my liver resection last December & I had/have complete respect & trust in my surgeon-for his skill, compassion & the respect he showed for ME and the difficult decisions I had to make.
I hope you find the same in your doc. (PS-my surgeon is a Surgical Onc. that specializes in cancers in the peritoneal cavity-liver,stomach,intestines, etc.I'd recommend that you look for someone with specific expertise.)
Prayers, Faith & Courage~
Jess
