Just a quick entry, as I'm still pretty tired from the latest chemo. The word with the liver surgeon today was good--I appear to be operable. We're going to watch for the liver tumor to shrink a bit more, but the cutting will probably happen before the new year. It seems that chemotherapy hurts liver tissue, so we are walking a fine line here. We want to definitely stop the tumor from growing so it doesn't link onto something that I can't live without, but not nuke my body so bad with chemo that what's left of my liver stops working. Also, these "destructive" processes of chemo, surgery, and (later) radiation are all something that I have to recover from, and I may not be able to handle them all at the same time. We'll have to see how well I do and make the call later about how to get all these procedures done.
Off to bed again for me. (Yawn!)

Just a few words from time to time on how I'm doing. Specifically with respect to this little health "speed bump" they call cancer, and maybe about anything else.
