Re: Michka, How Are you
Dear Michka,
So sorry to to hear that the post op wasn't a breeze. But.....they will get it figured out and you will be glad that you had the procedure and it is behind you.
Jackie's comment about being anemic is interesting, as my Drs. specifically mentioned being anemic after the significant blood loss associated with a liver resection.
Also...offering words of encouragement regarding the suspicious nodes. Weird....after removing my left lobe, they spotted a couple of cancerous nodes. Like yours....lots and lots of scans and they NEVER appeared. My thinking (trying to be positive), is that no wonder the liver kept getting infected if there were these nodes continuing to drain into it. Glad your Drs. identified the node and removed them. My Onc always talks about the cancer burden. I think you just significantly lightened the load!!! Which is a good thing.
Thinking of you and sending healing hugs!!!
