Dear Robin

Markers can mean anything. What matters most is if they have ever meant anything to you in the past? Do or did you have liver mets? Right upper quadrant pain can point to the liver or the ribs or just aches and pains of treatment. Many of us have had this kind of pain but it was nothing after a scan. The most important thing is to make sure you get it checked out and it seems that you are. I am sorry you have some aching as it is just as scary whether it is something or not. You will know soon and if you can't stand the waiting, call your onc so the scan can get moved up.

Make sure to let us know how you are doing and don't be afraid to post if you need support. We are here for you.
