    Hello K,

              l am very sorry to read your post,l can imagine your anxiety having been through similar myself.l think you are right to stay positive and see where treatment takes you.It is all too easy to jump to the last chapter before you have read the book.

                                                      l am seven years on from a stage 4  bowel cancer that subsequently decided to vacation in my liver.l had surgery on both and parted with 60% of my liver,with a stoma as a very unwelcome companion for 14 months.Skip through the rehab which you will know all about,and l am fighting fit and living my second life to the full,so anything and everything is possible, l hope you and those treating you, are able to bring your latest challenge under control,

                                                                                                                       good luck and happy horizons,

                                                                                                                                                       David
