    Great news- good luck with the surgery- what chemo have you been on and what will you go onto for the liver mets once you have surgery.
    Take care.

    excellent news. I had my surgery for rectal tumour about 3 years ago. I had a smooth recovery, which I partly attribute to walking a lot after the surgery. So, let me put in a plug for that! Best of luck to you.

    Wow Audrey:

    You must be one tough cookie! You talk about chemo-radiation like other talk about having a bag of fish chips! You go girl! I think the cancer has definitely picked the wrong host body! Best of luck to you!

    Great attitude Audrey! All the best for your surgery in march. From your post it seems that you have the utmost faith in your surgeon. That would have me assume that he/she has given you a thorough explanation of what to expect...a good start! And certainly that helps to allay the fears that we all have prior to surgery.
