Hi everyone! Thank you for the encouragings words before the surgery. My apologies for any typos. Well the had to cut me open. They tool entire left lobe and a small portion of the right to get clear margins. They also out my gall bladder. My billirubin went bight and they thought they may go back but thank God it was just a reaction to the blood transfusion and all balanced out. I'm finding the pain limited until I move so trying not to move too much. I will check back in tomorrow but judged to thank you for love prayers and support. Have a great night.

    Don't hesitate to let your medical team know about the pain. A bit of help in the beginning will go a long way in speeding your recovery.

    Hugs,

    Pain and recovery - e/day will get better
    So glad you are up and on the road to recovery!

    Walking is the key even w/some discomfort.
    Stay on top of those meds - walk and rest as you can.

    Following your progress with selfish interest. Doing last two rounds of Folfox and then similar surgery. Very happy to hear that you are healing. Not overjoyed at the thought of major surgery. Since there are no alternatives just going to have to power through it. Hugs and hopefulness to you.
