Hope you are okay. Sending hugs and healing thoughts and prayers to you!

What chemo are you on now? Prayers and hugs for you!

Glad to hear the good news about your liver and wish you continued success on the revised drug regimen. My husband developed internal bleeding after his liver resection & chemo pump removed. He had a couple of more setbacks and is currently rebounding from an aspirated procedure to clear up an infection around his liver. It's killing me inside..still in hospital close to a month, but we won't give up. Wishing you continued strength on your recovery road.

Kkcomm, how are you doing after your liver resection?

Check out Chris Wark here.....Not sure if he was stage 3 or 4 but he is 37 and 11 survivor.

Thanks for the support. Here I'm complaining about post chemo while you and so many others still going through it! Yet you remain supportive! Thank you. Guess we all just anxious to have normal again we forget what we do have. Praying for your wellness.

Thank you for your information i will look into it. I like your thinking and i hope you many many years.

Hi! I just saw your response about coping with chemo. I'm 2 sessions into 12 on the same chemical combo and wondered if the recovery time keeps getting longer each time or if it levels out at a certain point.

Hello hope you are doing ok. We have different cancers I know but we share many similarities. Such as worrying about seeing our kids grow up and our husbands with vision issues. I pray your surgery went well and recovery is non eventful. Know you are thought of today!

I am sending you strong positive vibes and support ! You have been strong through so much already I believe you are destined to beet this. Looking up were you live it looks like a sweet town to live in. How far do you have to go for your treatments?

The surgery is not easy but it is not as bad as imagined. He had very little pain post op. He had an epidural drip which stayed in for a few days and that really helped. You will take it slowly! His doctor said that the liver would regenerate in 6 weeks and that is what the scan showed. His gall bladder was also removed to help the surgeon get to the affected area of the liver. It just takes time. He had few dietary restrictions but absolutely NO lifting, vacuuming, etc. for 6-8 weeks. He still needs a nap each day. His appetite is beginning to increase now and he is putting back a few pounds. Please let me know how you fare. I will keep you in my thoughts for a positive outcome.

Welcome to a community if wonderful people. I'm sorry you are going thru this, but remember we are all going thru the same journey, some of us are just on a different path. I'm am a 52 yr old female, Stage IV with metastatic nodules in my lungs and 1 New liver lesion. My cea markers have never been higher than a 3.2. My doctor said she doesn't put a lot of stock in the test because there could be so many contributing factors to cause the number to raise and lower. Like zubsha said, it's not a perfect test and not used for screening. Even an infection can raise the numbers. Best of luck to you. Prayers and Blessings!
