Hello . 
I’m hoping you can help me. 

My Dad is 82 and has bowel Cancer , found this out 2 weeks ago . His consultants nurse rang today to say he needs an MMR scan because they’ve found something on his liver . 
My question has the bowel spread the Cancer to the Bowel ? many thanks Dawn Anslow 

  • Hi . I had the same scenario when I was diagnosed and had an MRI to check but it turned out to be a harmless cyst called a hemangioma. These are apparently very common in the liver and you can be born with them and be none the wiser unless you were to have a scan. 
    Everything crossed that this is the case for your dad too

  • Hi Flumps,

    I had an MRI as I had an indeterminate on my liver. I've had several different scans and it still presents as an indeterminate. The team even had another hospital look at the scans for a second opinion. They think it's a lesion and nothing to worry about. Apparently they're very common. Hopefully your dad's is the same. Try not to worry too much.

    Hi Flumps, I can understand your anguish.  I have bowel cancer and it has spread to my liver!  Hopefully as Karen has stated, the areas in the liver are nothing to be concerned about.  Have my fingers crossed for your dad. x
