  • While reading on the community I spotted your post without a reply and wanted to stop by to say hello and welcome you to the forum, Lee22.

    I hope that you'll soon get to chat with other Cancer Chat members who have gone through robotic liver resection but until then there is some information on liver surgery on our website I thought you might find useful.  To read more, please click here.

    Best wishes to you and your husband,

  • Hello Lee,

                    l went through a 60% liver resection and it was the hardest 7 days of pain l have ever suffered ,and this from someone that has had 2 new hips and some 12 operations on a broken body following being hit by a car.l had to lay completely immobile for a good number of days in a hammock so my back joined in giving me grief.After that the recovery was swift and within six months l felt no after effects whatsoever,amazing really how the body can heal itself.My experience suggests your husband should soon be through the worst,and l hope his recovery goes well,

  • Hi David

    Thankyou for your reply. Was yours robotic liver resection? Would have been much better if we were walked through the stages of after. When did you have your procedure? Hope you are well.
