Liver Transplant & Lake Life

Yesterday I was in touch with my University of Chicago doctors after my chemotherapy was canceled and I was back home from fluids at the infusion center. Things are moving fast and there is now an active referral for me in the UofC system to meet the liver transplant surgeons, sooner rather than later. A transplant for colon cancer metastases to the liver is not common practice and a lot of stars have to be aligned for me to be the right candidate.

UofC is at the forefront of medicine (yes, this is their tagline too) and of this particular practice. My fate is in the hands of these two doctors if we do move in this direction:

Dr. Fung:

Dr. Pillai:

I don’t want to get ahead of myself and there is much more chemo to be had before anything else happens as I mentioned in previous posts.

Right now, I’m just gonna keep taking it one day at a time and try to do the next best thing. Today that feels like rest and taking in the sunset from this lovely “staycation” home.

More to come soon, please keep the prayers and messages flowing!
