Hi I am a mum and Nanny, my daughter was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer August last year.  She finished 6 rounds of chemo in January.  Scans showed a small soot on her liver, more scans.  She will face more chemo.  Feeling very scared and anxious.  Idont know what to say or do feel helpless.

  • Might be helpful to ask her oncologist whether a liver ablation would be the way to deal with the 'small soot' I don;t know what is meant by a small soot but liver ablations can be a quick way to deal with a small liver tumour. Mine was painless with one overnight stay and only a tiny pinprick visible after, with fairly quick recovery and back to normal life. You do not mention if your daughter has had surgery, which I had had quite some time before a very small liver tumour was found by scan. I am much older and ok now. 

  • She has not had surgery yet as the tumour needs to be shrunk more so more chemo and radiotherapy first.
