Yes, I did have some discomfort in the right side just above my waist and under the rib cage where the capsule surrounding my liver was enlarged and pressing on a nerve.
BUT - and this is a BIG one! My bloodwork was ALL normal range for liver functions (very normal) - only CA 2729 was up to 57 from 24 3 months prior. The rest of this is that right up to the point of discovery I had been feeling just fine and had no idea that the tumors had taken over more than 50% of my liver! My med onc was really shocked as well.
So, feeling fine until the week before regular checkup and liver functions ran normal. (I found out that a person can function normally with only 10-15% liver working.)
Based on my experience, I would get any new pain checked out. I have had a couple of other pains (scares), that my med onc had the appropriate test done for and so far all NEGATIVE. Probably the herceptin keeping me NED - praise God for this drug!
