'NED' have read so many posts using this much desired word. My liver tumor was smaller than thet thought and right lung tumors were removed. Speak to surgeon tomorrow for report and chemo plan.
I hope I can be less anxious and my mom will be of help w/her visit (she is 81 and god bless her very healthy)
These board and what all have endured sure got me thru this last period of 2 surgeries now and high anxio
ness. Glad it is spring and looking forward to summer and hope I can do a local cancer walk in May.
Blessings to you all and be well!!!
Barb
PS to remove the liver tumor they had to cut diaphram
and gives hiccups/kind of continual for about 3 min's -thank goodness I have an epidural for pain management!

    You inspire me too!
    Thank you for your kind words!
    I know I have to keep my faith and positiveness going.
    These boards help me and communicating with such supportive people like yourself.
    I hope to make the walk. I need to keep events on my calendar to keep me moving forward.
    I am lucky to have two surgerys so close together but the assault to the body - ugh!
    Yes, summer is coming!
    Thanks Minnie -I am an Illinigirl.

    Only had them after surgery. Glad I had the epidural for pain.
    This is first liver resection, right lunge wedge was done at same time.
    Its all still very scary. I am still recovering from left lung lobectomy.
    Hope u are doing well.
    Have u had chemo following resections?
    Thank you for your suppoBarbados@-ados
