I have had liver cancer.
It was a small tumour growing on the surface of my liver and I had a wedge removed from the liver at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto.
The operation went well.
I had the usual issues - back pain, reaction to medication, exhaustion but that goes with the turf. When it all settled down my liver had regrown in about 3 months time and life went on.
I had no compunctions about having it removed. My reaction was, I wanted it out - immediately.
I strive to make the best choices available for me at any given minute. I am not a victim. I am in charge of my ship. Its my body. Victims don't have choices and if you take a stand against the medical system you deny the best they have to offer. Or conversely, you can take the worst they have to offer. Its your call.
