Hi Fenix,

Your cancer doctor should take the time to explain both to you and your wife what he is doing.

Since the biopsy doesn’t show where the primary is, it’s like my father’s cancer; metastatic liver cancer with unknown primary.

Since the primary is unknown, father’s oncologist said that he had to give chemo in order to kill “all” possible primary cancers. In other words a very strong dose of chemo.

Then he concluded that since the overall health of father was poor, the chemo could do a lot of harm, let alone kill father. So the oncologist adviced not to give any chemo, add to that he couldn’t guarantee that chemo would work in the first place.

That’s our story Fenix, your oncologist/cancer doctor is the person to talk to. If he/she is ‘too busy’, then your wife’s GP is the person to contact and ask your questions to.

If this doesn’t answer your question Fenix, please ask again.

Hi Kath-e,

Since this is a medical question, the persons best qualified to answer you are your GP and oncologist.

I have the same understanding like you: you need to ‘get rid of the primary cancer’ because in secondary liver cancer: the cancer in your liver is the primary that ‘just moved’ from his prime location to the liver.

Father had secondary liver cancer with unknown primary, so the oncologist had ‘no indication’ which specific chemo to give (for which specific primary) and in order to ‘try to make sure to kill all possible primary cancers’, the high dose of chemo needed, would have most likely killed father.

Hope that helps. Please do ask your doctors.

Hugs and God bless!

Q-my primary is non hodgkins lymphoma…and now its spread to my liver in some bad locations…some lesions are along the falciform ligament which makes a bad situation worse…im at stage 4 b and was in 2004 when diagnosed…now im rediagnosed with this mets from a liver biopsy done 3/31/10…im trying to figure out if you have to treat the primary first and the primary is NHL…and that is what is in the liver malignant NHL…is that why its untreatable bec its already been treated and the chemo didnt take…hmmm…im baffled on this one…

now i just realize my prognosis of 3-6 months..my birthday is exactly 6 months from the diagnosed date of 4/2/10…

any info regarding nhl with liver metastasis anyone has to share would be greatly appreciated…

with all the stories ive read and sites ive been on ..it always seems to be from one location to a completely differnet location…such as protrate to liver…or breast to liver….or lung to liver etc…

@Michelle

Thanks for dropping by and looking forward hearing your complete story.

First time I read about eye cancer spread to the liver, interested to learn more from you as we always learn more reading each others cancer stories.

One day we will find a treatment for cancer, it’s just a matter of getting all our knowledge together.

My dad’s cancer was originally in the eye… 18 years later it metastatised to the liver ….. one week after diagnoised… he died….For a year his doctor kept telling him he had gout! He came out to visit us, we noticed he was yellow, then later he told us about his urine bring brown and bowels being white… we took him to the hosptal… and after then did biopsy we brought him home with us and he died one week later! One of these days i will share his story…. it was awlfull how the insurance company treated him and what we had to do in order to get him seen in the first place since he was from a different state than where we were….

Thank you for your very informative site!

Blessings to you….

[...] Here’s a new blog I found called Metastatic Liver Cancer. The author got sick a few months ago, and found out she had a tumor causing Metastatic Liver Cancer, which is a cancer that has spread from itsâ€™ place of origin to another place or any other places in the body. The blog is heartbreaking, frank, and painful to read at times, but it’s a true and honest portrait of someone living with cancer. [...]
