It is time!!

I had an MRI of my Liver this past Monday.  Since then we met with my Liver surgeon.  He told us we are ready for surgery.  The newest thing he had to say was they only saw 2 - 3 spots in the left half of the liver.  This is amazing due to the fact there were originally 5 -6 spots in the left half.  He said some have likely completely melted. 

So for now we stop Chemo and prepare for surgery.   That is scheduled for September 27th.  During this surgery they will remove my right half of liver and possibly cut out the few spots which are on the surface of the left half of my liver.  Until then I have roughly 4 weeks to live semi normally.  Chemo will likely start 2 - 3 weeks after surgery depending on what my Oncologist decides.

Today was a rough day for me.  I started out with a lot of pain in my colon.  I tried doing my business and couldn't.  All the pain and pressure caused vomiting bile.  Not a fun thing for Lydia as she very much dislikes anyone Throwing up.  After three times of that the stomach calmed a bit but the pain in the colon stayed around for a while.  Later in the morning I was able to get rid of what was pressing on my tumor.  I never before imagined that much pain would come from a natural bodily process.  What resulted was a work at home day.

Tonight we went to Gilda's Club of GR to meet with the support groups.  It was good to see all the people I saw roughly a month ago.  I will miss talking with those people while I'm in the hospital and in recovery.  We will probably try going to a activity night once besides a group meeting night.  

Once again Thank you  for all your prayers and support.  Please keep them coming.
