sorry to read your news,its not the best thing to hear. What comes next is the what, where and how.
What type is it and will it respond to chemo ect.
Where is it and is it positioned where surgery is possible
How and what form will your treatment take place
Expect scans ,biopsies and tests to establish the facts in order for your surgical team to determine treatment,which will take a few weeks, but will seem like forever. From there on things should progress fairly quickly.Since each individual cancer situation is different it would not be possible to prejudge the actuallity, except to say that you will need to allow for a longer journey rather than a pop to the shops
The liver is remarkable in the fact that it has the ability to heal and expand to replace any lost function.l had 60% removed ten years ago and with inside a year it was like it had never been. The two takeaways for me was that the bowel op was easy but the recovery and lasting effects were harder, the liver op was short lived brutal but the recovery was a doddle with no after effects
Try to keep your stress down, and not worry about the things that you do not know or can do nothing to influence, all you can bring to this is the best you, mentally and physically, and do not underestimate the importance of that. Your surgical team will bring the expertise,do not undermine that by not presenting a calm balanced patient with their focus on the destination called recovery,
