David had an appointment with Dr. N today at Piedmont Atlanta to discuss the liver scan. He confirmed there was indeed a second lesion as he had previously noted with the scan on December 6. Dr. N is ready to proceed with liver surgery and said he would like to get it scheduled for February 2. He called and discussed his thoughts with Dr. B and both agreed to proceed with that plan. Both lesions are in the same area of the liver. He is confident of getting the R0 resection with both areas but will not know how much liver he will need to remove until he is actually in surgery. Despite being extremely anxious about a surgery of this magnitude, David and I both are ready to move forward. Dr. N said recovery would be painful and would take 4-6 weeks. So now we wait for it to be scheduled hoping nothing else derails the train.
