Re: Mass in liver

Hi Laurie~
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, but I hope when you see your doc on Wednesday they will put you on the path to a definitive diagnosis. Most likely via biopsy, but maybe another scan or MRI will do?
One step at at time. Once you have the next piece of information, you'll know what direction to take. In the meantime, just hang in there.
I've been managing liver mets on and off for 8 years, since my primary diagnosis @33yo. I've had a lot of different chemo combos, RFA, chemo embolization, liver resection, but despite it all have managed to maintain a very active lifestyle (until recently when I started on a 5 cycles of Ixempra, which has been a real challenge).Incidentally, throughout all of this, even when the mets were characterized as "innumberable, immeasureable", I've never had symptoms - no pain, no compromised liver function, etc, so keep fingers crossed for the best.
Please keep us posted and know that we are all here pulling for you.

Keep the Faith~
