Hello,

My Mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer last May and had to have an emergency operation to remove the cancer as it grew in a matter of weeks. The operation was a terrifying time for me and my family as we were told there was a 50/50 she wouldn’t make it out alive as her heart was weak from the morphine she had been taking to ease the pain of the cancer. Incredibly, my Mum was so strong and made it through the operation! The cancer in her bowel and abdomen area has been removed however there were some tumours showing up in her liver which I’m assuming is secondary liver cancer? She has been having chemo since last August which has reduced the tumour but unfortunately that has stopped working. Her oncologists are now meeting to discuss whether they are able to do liver resection. 

I know that we have been incredibly lucky catching the cancer at the time we did and having amazing surgeons that were able to keep my Mum alive. But sometimes when I’m having a bad day or thinking about the future, negative thoughts take over my mind and I struggle to stay positive. 

Does anyone have any experience of this type of cancer or Have had a liver resection and could give me some information about the process and the results? 

I just want some sort of reassurance if possible!

Thank you x
