Recurrence in the liver

So I am guessing this is what is being suspected from the CT scan as there is concern about the appearance of my liver. Now another wait for an MRI appointment and result - I don't really know what can be done if it is back. Does anyone have any experience of secondaries in the liver as I am worrying there isn't much they can do

Morning Katsmum.

My mum has just had a recurrent confirmed in the liver. We were really upset but her oncologist was as positive as ever and thinks another round of chemo will knock it back again. X

Hi, mine came back in my liver and I have been put on weekly Taxol. My oncologist is also still very positive. Keep strong. 😘😘🌻

Thanks ladies I will certainly try but it's the waiting and not knowing that drives the imagination wild. I must get a good book to dive into! 📖 xxx

Hi. It came back in my liver and I had carbo caleyx combo and it has remained stable for over a year now. It's still there just hasn't grown so I'm happy with that.

It's in the surface and in my liver. Sounded awful at he time but it hasn't changed from chemo ended last Feb so please don't be panicking. My Onc seems to be positive too so I'm hanging on to that xo

Hi - I've had 2 recurrences - both on different surfaces of the liver a few months apart. Both treated with chemo and here to tell the tale as it were!

It's sooo scary to know it's back and I vividly remember feeling the clanging bell of doom snapping at my heels when I found out but honestly Katsmum - it ain't the end by a long shot - no way gal! !

You'll deal with it like you did before and like us ladies do - give it a good kick up the a**e my love! !!!!
