Today marks three weeks since the surgery. I do not recommend it as an elective surgery if anyone was considering such <grin>. I'm feeling a bit better each day but it is slow going. The surgeon recommended four weeks off of work and I can see why. Wow - this is not an easy or quick recovery.
I have a pretty impressive scar - something akin to a shark attack. My understanding is that my body will have regenerated 90% of the liver in 3-4 weeks time so getting there. I typically take a nap during the day and have to lay down to rest periodically - all recommended for the recovery. I try to do a ~2 mile walk every day. Not exactly racing up the hills on my bike like I'm used to but better than nothing!
Lu and I meet with the oncologist tomorrow (8/10), presumably to determine when to start the 2nd set of chemotherapy. I suspect it will be a couple more weeks though to ensure I'm stronger. The chemo is the same as the previous set - 6 cycles of two weeks each. Life giving poison baby...
