Chrisy - any pain with new liver mets?

[StephN]

Hi -
Forgot to ask that earlier. Whether you had any warning pangs in your front, sides or elsewhere from the new mets. Or any other problems that could be attributed to your compromised liver. People can live with just a small fraction of their liver functioning, so that is not the issue.

This is the sneaky part about this disease - normally NO warning pains unless the tumors are quite large or numerous.

Hi Steph,

I somehow missed your post! Nope, I had no "unusual" symptoms related to this. I never had any pain even with the initial mets diagnosis, when there were numerous extensive mets. This time around I also had no pain, and "only" 2 lesions. I did however have a "feeling" that something might show up - and I think that our intuition can be sometimes a better indicator than physical symptoms!

On the other hand, it's a tribute to the human body that you can have a liver chock full 'o cancer and it is still functioning.
