We were asked to give a metastatic liver cancer prognosis to Padmanabhan who told his kidney cancer story in a comment at Liver Cancer Prognosis.
Padmanabhan’s doctors found a tumor in his liver and Padmanabhan wants to know whether it’s a metastatic liver cancer or just a liver tumor.
You should ask your doctor to answer your questions. For what I know is that a liver biopsy could tell you whether your cancer is primary or secondary. But you need to know that father’s liver biopsy only resulted in the knowledge of having a secondary liver cancer with unknown primary.
There is no need for guessing and asking around on the Internet, not even on our metastatic liver cancer site. In your case you have to get your answer from the medical world based on facts and examinations.
Once doctors have diagnosed what kind of cancer or tumor you have in your liver, they can inform you about which cancer treatments you can undergo, what your options are and what your prognosis will be.
All we can do on this website is:
- tell you we only have one metastatic liver cancer survivor and
- share with you the journey that metastatic liver cancer patients and their loved ones have walked already
So please ask your doctors why they don’t do a liver biopsy and do get a second opinion from doctors in a hospital that’s well known for dealing with the kind of tumor you are having.
Padmanabhan kidney cancer story
I was diagnosed with kidney cancer last year in the month of march in a routine master check up and got the right kidney removed.
It was a localised one and
the biopsy has shown it as a grade 2 rcc.
After a year now when I went for a routine scanning it was found that in the liver there is a focal lesion [hyperechoic] with a size of 1.8 cm.
One doctor felt that it would be a haemangioma (a benign tumour composed of dilated blood vessels) but the other one wants to check whether it is a metastatic one.
They want me to do an MRI scan with contrast.
But unfortunately I have little higher creatinine level which suggests that after this contrast test, the functioning of the kidney might get affected further.
I want to know whether it is a metastatic one, how much is the chance of it being as a liver cancer, what are the chances that it might affect my health.
How can it be cured what are the percentage chances.
How long it takes to cure.
Make sure all medical examinations that can be done in a reasonable matter are done before wondering about your metastatic liver cancer prognosis.
