For those that are new on this blog, a short summary what a metastatic liver cancer is all about.
“Metastatic” was the word we quite didn’t understand when father was finally diagnosed after his health was fading ‘for no apparent reason’. I only understood the word ‘liver cancer’ so I started looking at all things to make father’s liver better.
Yet "Metastatic" was the word I missed. Metastatic is best translated as:
bad luck: you have 2 cancers
It took us a long time to understand that father had :
- a Metastatic cancer causing a second:
- cancer in his liver
To make things worse, doctors never found where this cancer originated from. In other words:
father had no fighting chance from the moment the doctors diagnosed him without a primary.
Only now after all these months I can clearly understand why the doctors where no more paying interest in what father wanted to do or not do, for them the matter was closed medically: we cannot cure you, so you better give way to patients we can cure…
