    Kim,

    You must be so happy! It is obvious you do a great job of supporting Roger through this! Take good care!

    Heyas Roger!
    Congrats on the upcoming surgery! you will have that fighting chance, and kick that cancers A$$! One of these days, I hope to be able to have a surgery where my liver will be operable, even if it does take a long time, like you said, you have that 20% chance of success, which is better then none at all! love your spirit!

    Hugsss!

    MIssing tumors
    What fantastic news that they can't find it - you scared it off!

    I wish you luck next week - hoping nothing new shows up at all, and you can just do the liver resection and move on. (And remove the area where the primary tumor was if you decide to do that. Personally I'd go for it, especially if they can do it all at once and keep you from having multiple surgeries.)

    I'm always in the weird 1% category, or less than 10% category, for almost everything medical that happens to me. So being in the 20% group might not be so bad. Overall I've done ok with my numbers. Like being in the less than 4% of patients that still have cervical cancer after a hysterectomy removing their cervix. So I had to fight a little longer, but I won! I've been NED for cervical cancer for 5 years now (after battling it for a few years). Throw yourself into the 20% category - it isn't so bad being a minority sometimes!!!

    congrats Roger
    But don't go looking too hard for that tumor - so you've misplaced it. So what? Let it go!

    More power to you, bro.
