Scared of prognosis-stage IV liver mets

[Raquel]

A good friend of mine has had liver mets over seven years now and she is Ned and has been for a few years! True, she may not be cured but her cancer has gone into remission and she's doing well! I am stage lV also but I don't think of it as a death sentence, just a chronic problem I have to deal with. I hope your results come back negative for liver mets, I too have had false positives over the last four years on scans so don't lose faith!

My appointment with my oncologist is tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. to find out the results of the liver biopsy. I will hold on to that tiny little thread of hope that maybe something else lit up on my PET scan. From my understanding, there was 1 lesion that was about 2.5 cm that lit up, and a few smaller ones that were "too small to tell".
thank you all so much for responding to my thread and giving me some hope. I really thought I needed to start making funeral plans. I don't really have anyone to talk to on my end of things. I am a single mom, and my children are teenagers who live at home. I don't want them to carry too much of this burden or scare the daylights out of them. ((hugs)) I appreciate you all so much
