Terrified. Now have liver mets.

After lung cancer and 3 clear years and brain mets that were successfully treated with Cyberknife, I was told yesterday i have liver mets. My chemo starts next week.

I have that feeling of terror that I’m sure we all know. But I would like to hear any stories or recommendations for getting through this.

Thank you.

Hi there, I understand how scared you must be. I’d like to share Wendy’s story with you. Wendy is over 7 years into her diagnosis of lung cancer and liver mets.

We also have many more stories of people living with lung cancer on our website.
