Usually there are a lot more symptoms of liver mets such as bloating, pain on the upper right side, perhaps yellowing of the skin or eyes, sometimes even pain in the right back shoulder blade.

You may have gotten what your son had and it is taking longer to subside (because you already state you have neutropenia issues) and the fact that you are also worried about it and that is also contributing (stress does alot to us).

Try to relax. Baby yourself and eat a bland diet - no spicy foods or hard to digest foods. Are you constipated? Remember the 2-3 week rule - if it doesn't go away then you have to get it checked out but I think if you do some relaxing (tub baths, reading trash magazines or whatever you like) things and eat bland, you will see it will go away.

It is always scary to get something that can be interpreted as a symptom but we all get naturally sick or get aches and pains. Unfortunately, we have to just wait it out and see. I think yours will just go away.
