Post treatment scans - not good news

I had my results of the 3 month PET-CT scan today. And whilst the chemoradiation showed a complete response in the anal canal and affected lymph nodes, it appears that the cancer decided to decamp to my liver and I was told it’s now stage 4 metastasis to the liver. MRI scan to come and an outside chance of surgery but it looks like chemotherapy to try and keep things at bay but they are no longer talking curative. To say we are gutted is an understatement. There were no liver issues in August at my pre-treatment scan so this feels like it’s horribly fast growing. 
Grateful for any insight from anyone who has had similar outcomes. We do not know how to process this right now. xx

  • I don’t have any personal experience of liver mets but just wanted to say I’m so sorry that you’ve received this news  . I can only imagine the emotions that this has stirred up & completely understand the difficulties you’re having processing everything. Hopefully someone with more experience will be along soon to offer some advice.

    Sending you a big virtual hug.
