Next week is my second go at this. Then chemo after. The surgeon told me he wants to hit it aggressively with chemo afterwards. The nurse told me that it is good news as he means to get rid of the cancer. The professor also said he has operated on a lady 5 times, and doing different techniques. Some days I feel positive some days I feel like running away.
Don’t blame you for wanting to run away ! You certainly have a proactive surgeon but really it’s understandable that you would not want to have to .
But glad he is on your team !
The second surgery cleared it up for my mum .
Wishing you every success and a quick recovery . I will be thinking of you .

Hi HelenBK
You sound very positive and you’re in great hands if it’s the prof overseeing your op. I’ve now had three goes at my liver and the skill the surgeons applied was awe inspiring. 5 clear quarterly scans now so they really can see off the scoundrel in your liver.
Thank you so so much Wellspring. I so appreciate it. I’m thankful for the wonderful Professor. Afraid too. Wellspring I just saw your message. Did they make some changes to the website?
Hi bubbles1
Welcome to the forum . Are you getting tests for bowel cancer ? Most bowel cancer caught early is very treatable. Some patients have a spread to the liver and bowel cancer is one of the more fortunate primary cancers to have options as there is a lot of treatment for bowel cancer cells in the liver .
Hope your doing ok .
