Unhappy Liver resection?

Hi Everyone,

I have read with great empathy about new liver mets for some of us. Mine has been hard to take. I have started Navelbine, but I want more; more time with my husband and children. Due to the site of the tumor, I am not a candidate for ablation or Cyberknife (as per Drs. at Georgetown). They can resect though. My onc is pretty dead set against it. I have tried to explain my desperation and need to find some hope. She is willing to "allow" it, but my husband is in agreement that it is a waste (and possibly dangerous). Sisters (and brothers) can you give me any guidance? I am 49 and healthy (except for this little terminal illness). I am ready for the fight. Is it a waste of time to resect?
