quick question

[juanita]

The friend I have at work was supposed to have her biopsy yesterday but it was postponed till today or tomorrow. It was for a very large mass on her liver, which they told her they are 99% sure it is cancer. The spot they thought they saw on her lungs they now say is just a shadow. My question is, doesn't cancer in your liver mean you have it somewhere else too? I always thought the liver was like a trashcan and caught all of it from elsewhere. What makes all of this so hard for me to deal with is that Mary only has 40% of her heart working because of heart attacks and congestive heart failure. So the docs all had to confer and see if she could even have any surgery to begin with. What sort of treatment is she probably facing?
