Three years ago I manned the Her2 booth at the Young Survival Conference that was in Denver that year. It was then I met our Lisa (Love and Light). I asked her her story and her liver mets started as a nagging pain in her right shoulder blade (of which she thought nothing of at the time). As a few months went on, more investigation revealed mets. If you google liver problems - shoulder blade pain is mentioned over and over again as a possible symptom.
