So my wife and I went back to Northwestern Memorial to meet the surgeon who will be doing my liver surgery. The meeting went very well. I will be having my portal vein embolization (PVE) this Thursday. We need to be at the hospital at 7 which means we will probably be leaving home before 5. (Today however we had an afternoon appointment and made it to the hospital in just over an hour. What a difference from the drive last week where it took over 2 hours.)
I will have another MRI in 4 weeks to confirm that my left liver lobe has grown sufficiently. My surgery will be 6 weeks from now which will be the first week in November. It sounds like my hemangioma is so close to the center of my liver that the surgery will actually be an "extended right lobectomy of the liver".
