Husband coming home tomorrow [View all]
Finally, after many tests and scans and opinions, my husband had his liver cancer surgery and is due for discharge tomorrow. After nearly 5 hours in the OR, his surgeon was pleased that 'they got the job done.' Clean though tight margins because of an already diseased liver, he can hopefully put this chapter behind him. We were lucky that this malignant tumor was picked up very early thanks to a portfolio of imaging and tests.
So now, he's joining our 3-year old grand-daughter Cassandra in beating the odds (she had a successful transplant due to a very aggressive liver cancer that totally wasted the organ).
Liver Cancer is Us but it hasn't beaten us yet.
Hallelujah!
