Liver Mets question

Kim:

I would request a CT or an MRI and not an ultrasound. Ultrasound tends to miss small lesions. MRI is the most sensitive but you can't biopsy from an MRI and that is why CT is usually used.

Remember that Chemo will also raise havoc on your gallbladder and sometimes the pain is related to that organ and not liver mets.

It is always good to find out even if it is chemo side affects or the gallbladder as peace of mind is invaluable.
