Wanted to let my friends no that I go in St Joseph's hospital Tuesday to have liver surgery done to remove cancer from my liver. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared cause I am. Immediately after surgery I start chemo too. So good by hair and eyebrows along with my eyelashes. Nothing to do with any of this is fair...I absolutely hate this and I'm already depressed as hell. You are all so much stronger than I am. I just don't see how you get threw any of this.

@AlyceMarie‍ Good luck tomorrow. Come back and let us know how it goes. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. From a person who has had multiple surgeries, think positive and know your doctor's hands will do good work. Trust in that. Feel confident in your surgeon/doctor.

Seek out depression meds if you need to in order to get you through any rough patches. You are strong and will surpass this.

Well everyone I wanted to update you all after my tumor removal. I had another PET scan afterwards since I was starting radiation and it showed I had more tumors now than before surgery! So guess you could say it didn't work for me. If this is a option for you please understand it may work well for you and save your life but also understand it's not a guarantee either.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
