Yes, they removed the R lobe of my liver - which is 55% of the organ.As I mentioned, I've been NED in that lobe ever since.We
opted for this procedure since I'd had a history of extensive mets, though it was just one stubborn one we had our eye on.
Had there been more than one met, my surgeon would have RFA'd the others and removed the lobe.
I have unfortunately been battling other mets in the nodes in my belly, and 2 in the L lobe of my liver. But this Ixempra/Herceptin combo seems to really be doing the trick, so I'm keeping fingers crossed for some good, REALLY GOOD news, when I have my next scans in a couple of weeks.
Wishing for great options & treatment response for you.
Keep us posted~
