Adrian woke up early at around 07:00 and head to QMH this morning for an early blood test. Surprisingly his blood test from yesterday and today's showed that his Creatinine level has gone back to normal!!! We also met with Prof Fan for the first time today, the day before the surgery. He went through all the details about the surgery and showed us where his tumors are on the latest CT Scan. Sadly, Adrian's gall bladder will also be sacrificed because of the proximity of the liver section to be removed.

Details for the surgery:-
Description: Partial Hepatectomy
Chief Surgeon: Prof ST Fan
Duration: Approx. 4 hours starting at 08:30
Purpose: Removal of Liver segment V/VI; and possible IV as well (depending on whether the small tumor (2mm) can be found within). Gall bladder will have to be removed due to the proximity of its location to Segment V/VI.

Front of Liver for reference


Adrian smiled a lot today, he's probably too young to know what will happen tomorrow. Here's a video we took today during our visit:
