Left lobe of the liver largely removed, lymph node also removed, eight units of blood given to her (the liver is heavily vascularized, it cleans the blood), and she's recovering OK so far. Pray that the remaining liver keeps/regains its function, and that they did indeed get everything.

Dear Brother,
Thank you for this update. We continue to pray for her.
You got it, BB. God bless!
Sorry to hear of this, Bert. My mom was just diagnosed with incurable lung cancer a couple of months ago.
The good news is that the liver can regenerate itself fairly easily.
My thoughts are with you and your mother.
Thanks, y'all. I'll give updates.
And DH; absolutely that's what we're hoping. On the other hand, I would expect that another round of chemo would not exactly help with liver regeneration. I'd be very glad to be wrong on this, of course.
absolutely, bubba.
prayers on the way.
