For people having metastatic liver cancer, there is the bare reality of this blog that metastatic liver cancer can kill you.
There is also hope given by Patti that you can fight this cancer with chemotherapy. Unlike father who was supposed to take 5FU chemotherapy, Patti is taking a Carboplatin/Gemcitibine combo and also Taxol.
What I found quite disturbing is that the doctors show her that there is something in her lung but most likely that’s not the primary tumor…
Same happened with father: the CT scan was showing something in his lungs and something in his right shoulder, yet the oncologist said that most likely that’s not the primary tumor…
Most likely: it’s quite an amount of guessing going on when it comes to cancer.
