I keep coming back to this one.
My bil just had 1/2 his liver taken out, cancer, 2 months after surgery he is good again, I was really surprised at how soon he recovered.
I have had another bil lose to a Liver issue, and another loved one pass away in my arms from the same.

You are right, so many more things in life than hunting, we are blessed to be able to hunt, good health is another blessing.

I wish you the best, and keep us updated on your progress.
