Hi 

This is my first time posting.  

I was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in July 2024 with spread to my liver and peritoneum. The are 10 metastases spread over all 8 sections of my liver. I have been on chemo for 6 months now and this has reduced for size of all of the metastasises.


My question is to anyone who has experience of having metastases in all sections of their liver – what treatment have you had and how have you responded to it? I would like to have surgery but at present I am still in operable and I’m aware it will be challenging for me to ever be operable. 

Many thanks and all good wishes to everyone on this group.  

  • We are in exactly the same position as you. Did anyone reply? We had targeted therapy and we’re now moving onto Oxaliplatin. The targeted therapy didn’t really work for us!

  • I have mets in all sections of my liver. Still on 1st line folfox and had stable mets on halfway scan. I also have lung mets. Have been told I'm inoperable by my oncologist. I have asked for a referral to a liver surgeon for a second opinion. I feel that if chemo is only keeping things the same, I need more options.
