Fast, sudden progression
Tricia, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, and for the suddenness that is so shocking, particularly since you shared the timing of treatment.
If it helps any at all, the liver is harder to investigate without the more spendy types of imaging. So docs are more likely to watch regular periodic lab tests if a patient is doing fairly well in general and that is usually pretty reliable. Perhaps either she or her doc were not doing those often enough.
I ponder sometimes on a personal basis the advantages and disadvantages of fast progression vs slow progression. I'm sorry this is such a difficult and sad time for you.
