Update

Here's another update. My mom went to get a CT scan a couple of weeks ago. She had a chemo treatment last Monday. Today she went to see her oncologist to get the results of the CT scan and to see if there are going to be any more chemo treatments.

The doctor said that she doesn't have to do any more chemo for now. But, he said that his preferred option for the next step is to do another full-blown surgery to remove part of her liver again. This is the first time he's brought up surgery. In her previous appointments he mentioned radioactive pellets inserted into the liver and radiowave ablation as option. Needless to say, the surgery news is somewhat shocking and concerning. He told my mom that surgery gives her the best chance of staying away from chemo and other treatments for the longest period of time. The last time she had surgery, it was almost a year before cancer showed up again.

That's about it from here. They are meeting on Nov. 2 to determine the specifics on the surgery. I'll update when I know anything else.
