Then had the chemo where you take home the pack. Can't remember right now the name. Done with chemo Feb '14. Had PET scan today. If no new tumors are there, then liver surgery. If any anywhere, then back to start.

I just wanted to say hi and welcome to the club no-one wants to join! Your treatment plans seems pretty similar to mine so shout if you have any questions.
I pray that all goes well with the liver resection. Had mine done last year and is my best scar (as far as scars go). My surgeon did a very neat job and I had no complications after. Recovery was not great as it was abdominal surgery so you feel every cough, sneeze and laugh but it passes.
Also praying that your Dr finally gets back to you with the info you need. Everyone here would agree that waiting is hard. I hate that reminder that I'm not in control of my treatment.
