Liver resection: Here I go

[michka]

Tomorrow I am going to the hospital and will have liver resection with maybe RFA if needed on Tuesday. It was difficult to determine what to do and I was starting to be discouraged. During all these months I was taking herceptin, tykerb and tamoxifen that seemed to stabilize and slightly shrink the mets. One of the met is very close to the lung and may be a problem for RFA and/or Cyberknife to give it a full blast. But they can take it out by surgery. I am very afraid but happy they accepted to take care of me. I thank you all for your support all these weeks and especially Joan who found the right contacts for me in Institut Gustave Roussy.
I hope the operation will be a success. After, I think I will go back to targeted therapy and try to keep chemo for when I will have no other choice. I hesitated because Lani informed us that surgery depresses our immune system But I figured chemo also.
I am sending hugs to all of you. I hope to find good news when I come back from all our sisters who are going through difficult periods. There are still too many. Michka
