Hi Tomboy81. Sorry you are having a bit of a scare, I havent had that particular scare, but I can certainly identify with the feeling of 'whats happening to me?' I think the others had some helpful ideas/ experiences to offer, I havent really, but do have liver mets, tiny seeds all over it and one larger met and recently was told its grown a bit, so I know about the uncertainty thingy. Also, im never a good in - patient, always start thinking 'am I going downhill'!
I was thinking that unless they say don't...drinking lots of water will help flush out any toxins...also ( and im really bad at this) but 'mindfulness' the ' In' meditation is pretty good if you can do it, to get a grip on the 'nagging mind'.
My n/spec recommended a book recently called Mindfulness for health, by Vidyamala Burch, it just arrived from Amazon today,so dont know how good it is yet, tho, there is a downloadable kindle version which is much cheaper I think and that would be immediate...I ordered my book yesterday it has a cd,so when i find my cd player, ill have a listen.
( I just paused typing to have a quick look and she seems to be making a lot of sense) the other thing is.....
Try not to get spooked by the doctors tone...... I find myself reacting to tones all the time, but they all have lots of things to do/on their minds and her tone might be irrelevant regarding your situation.
If its any help, I had a partial hepatectomy in 2008 and was scared I was going to die! So I have been there.
the op was pre mets, but that bit was diseased so it had to come out.
let us know how things are going.
