Hi Europa,

You have had all the tests done and it did not show cancer in the liver, because you don't have it!!

I have been in pain since I came back from Europe- - early September. I did so much walking that I threw my back in Barcelona, just like you I had an MRI of my back, the test came back negative for cancer. Im still in pain, and have been taking Relafen to alleviate the discomfort in my lower back. Also, have had pain under my right breast for a long time, it turns out is fibrosis-- I drink a lot of coffee. Remember-- at least on my part.. we are not spring chickens any longer, anything new we do or a new routine we add to our life it will have an impact in our overall health and body. I started yoga six weeks ago and sometimes the pain gets worse, but for the most part, I'm doing ok.

Think positive!! Take care,

Adriana
