The liver resection was successful and she was cancer free when she went home from the hospital. From what I understand recovery seemed to be going well. She was fine a few weeks ago. It was blood clots in the liver that took her from us.

She knew the surgery and recovery were risky, but we all thought she was over the hurdle. It's a shock. All I can say is that she beat the disease. She did. She was NED when she passed. She was a fighter through and through and I will never EVER forget her.

I wasn't sure everyone would see the response here, so I've posted a separate topic also.

So heartbroken tonight.

Thank you for letting us know Tracy.

I can't believe she's gone....so very sad. I thought she was doing better but the surgery must have really taken its toll. She went through so much and just seemed to take it all in her stride, with courage and strength. Such a very special person. She will be missed ❤️

Deepest sympathy to all her loved ones ❤️ RIP Anne

Hearing this news was enough to suck the oxygen right out of me. The passing of BeansMama is a significant loss to this community.

BeansMama gave everything she had to overcoming her cancer. She held back nothing.

I remember her last posting before Christmas, where she was hospitalized with pleurisy and substantial lung fluid that had been tapped.

May God watch over her. Always and in all ways.

This is awful. Condolences to her family.
I'm just a dude who still can't believe he had a resection and went through chemo (currently 12 years NED). Is this real life?
