Comments on: Kaye’s Metastatic Liver Cancer Story http://www.metastaticlivercancer.org/2008-05-31-cancer-treatment/kayes-metastatic-liver-cancer-story/ Metastatic liver cancer story: my adenocarcinoma liver cancer prognosis is February 2007. No cancer treatment as this type of cancer needs 5FU chemotherapy drugs. This or chemotherapy side effects are worse than dying from metastatic liver cancer.

My 56 year old sister was diagnosed with Stage IV Advanced Adenocarcinoma Liver Cancer from an unknown primary on September 11, 2008. She is in her final stages of dying. She had no symptoms at all. She attended my son's wedding in May this year and looked fine. She was even under the care of several specialists for her type II diabetes and high cholesterol. But none of the doctors ever tested her for cancer. The Chemotherapy they tried her on didn't work, even a more aggressive Chemotherapy was done and that too didn't work, the cancer ate right through the Chemo. I asked my doctor to run tests on me because of this and he told me he couldn't because the insurance companies don't allow it and I couldn't afford the test on my own. He also said the type of Cancer my sister has is like that of a submarine, it lays low and the bottom undetected. You don't know it's there, it's silent yet sinister. It attacks and destroys all the while without you even knowing it and then it's too late. What is wrong with the medical insurance companies? They just don't care if we live or die. They're still going to get their premiums paid regardless. I will be a statistic now when it comes to losing a loved one to Cancer. I am beyond angry.
