Michka,
You are a stealth Liver Resection artist. How did you sneak in there before I could have mine??? We will certainly have stories to swap along with MissyW.

Missy has had good luck and so her case is certainly inspiring.

If it makes you feel any better...I tried the less invasive procedures and while I do believe they bought me 2+ years, it ultimately failed. So difficult for all of us to determine the best step. You are not alone with those mental gymnastics.

Chin up.....we will get through this and soon there will be 3 of us on the site that can tell everyone that we are NED due to our resections.

I head in on Wednesday 3/30 so anticipate being away from the computer for a bit. But...post when you feel up to it. I'll be anxious to hear how you are doing.

All the best.....Lori
