Sandy, I can't offer any insight or information, but I can say that I am rooting for your husband, and for you, to find the best way through this. All of us who have had any sort of cancer, especially when we know some of those nasty cells still lurk in our bodies, wake up every day wondering what the day will bring in terms of our health. I know you wonder, too, about what the day will be for your husband. I hope he chooses the surgery, if that seems his best option, and that it does what it needs to do for him.

Thank you Giness for your kind words. Yes, it is scary esp when there is no cure and his cancer has already metastasized. But this is slow growing and with the surgery this will help keep his liver healthy. He's decided to have the surgery and as of now it'll be the end of March. We have some vacation coming up so he wants to wait until after that. It's not an urgent surgery so March is fine. He can plan with work and we can get our travels out of the way. And then he can focus on the surgery. He's still digesting all of this and I still think he's not realizing the severity of the surgery and what it will entail. And that's ok too bc of he did he may back out. Of course, if he did that's his choice. But I do beehive he understands it's time. He's not a talkative guy or emotional either. That's my dept. Lol For now I just need to focus on the holidays and our trip coming up. Then I'll go back to worrying. Thank again for your concern and respond.
