Feeling better finally after liver resection

[RulaLenska]

I’m feeling better now, like I’ve turned the corner. I had a really good check up with my surgeon this week. CT shows almost complete regeneration, blood work looks great and my CEA is 4.3 which is the lowest it’s been since diagnosis when it was 400. I’ll see my Onc in a month with a repeat of labs. We’ll discuss mop up chemo.
Just 2 years ago I had massive liver tumors, lung and adrenal tumors and a sigmoid tumor that was partially obstructing at times. I was not a surgical candidate then. I NEVER expected to be where I am today. I come here often but I haven’t contributed much as yet. I am amazed at the level of care and real concern I find here. The information is so helpful and comforting, it makes even bad news palatable. Thank you all for being here though I wish we didn’t need to be.
Health and healing to all,
Cyn

Cyn! You are kicking cancer's butt big time!!!! Congratulations on the successful surgery and recovery!

Like you, my prognosis didn't look very promising a few years ago. But with a diligent oncologist and a dedicated team of surgeons, I managed to beat the beast. Please come back whenever you want to talk. We're here for you!
