Thanks Tiffany.
Oncologist not overly concerned re growth but I don't know him well so don't know his work style.
My previous Oncologist seemed to go looking for issues even when reports said otherwise!
This liver met has appeared in less than 12 weeks on a Ct - & already at 2.5 cm. Which makes me think it was missed in October scan or is fast growing.
I commented on the fact that it was regrowth of original tiny liver met that should have been ablated 3 1/2 years ago. ( It wasn't done because of delay between Onc & liver specialist & by time replies received I had started chemo)
My new Onc then said he doesn't believe in doing any type of liver ablation. So if I don't get on trial , ablation is also out! A bit disappointed in this as I'm sure many ablations are successful.

This trial is a phase 2 with only 200 places worldwide. There is already 1 Lady on it in my area. Fingers crossed that I'm 2nd!!
