Hi everyone I haven’t posted for a few days as I’ve been having a little trouble processing my current situation. I saw the liver specialist on 3rd October. He said surgery is on the table and we’ve agreed to go ahead. My oncologist had said that if I have the surgery, then I should get 2-3 years if it’s successful. The surgeon suggested that after surgery I’ll be cancer free. I don’t know who to listen to now. Can anyone relate to this?

  • Sorry Annette, I forgot to say that I don’t have a date for surgery yet. My pre-op appointment is Tuesday 17th, so I should find out then.Fingers crossed

  • Hi Jools ,sorry to hear  your confusion. I do think there are positives there. Like you have been told by others , I personly would stick to the positives and speak to your cancer nurse, its what they are there for. Yes consultants use different words with the same meanings. Where  there is treatment there is hope. Sending hugs xx
