TNBC secondary in liver

So sorry to hear this.  I hope the paclitaxel has worked and your further investigations and treatment are quicker than your 7 week wait for a CT. result.  Here for you x

Sorry to hear that Goddfish.  Hopefully the paclitaxel has worked on the liver lesion.

Hi Codfish, finding out you have secondary cancer is horrid and so unfair. You must just be feeling absolutely devastated, scared and many other things beside. I want to send you a big virtual hug.

I guess I also just want to say hang in there - if it is a solitary metastasis there may be the option to remove it. Its worth asking about whether there might be a surgical option - can they cut it out perhaps? I don't know if its possible but I get the impression that you are really proactive - can you call your breast care nurse to find out? In the meantime, I really hope the paclitaxel blasts those unwanted cells for you xxx

They need to complete the scans to work out what it is and what can be done. Nodes around the breast and nodes around the liver clear so one possible answer is it is actually an unrelated primary as there aren’t any other classics signs of mets. Ablation may be a possibility. 

I am so hoping this is the case for you and it can be removed. Thinking of you in the waiting phase. I hope its short and you get a treatment plan for it ASAP. xx

I would ask for a biopsy to prove or disprove their finding, and also because treatment options and outlooks would be different if this is indeed a breast cancer met or a different type of primary. A biopsy could also prove that there is no cancer there at all -- I was once told I had mets, based on scans only, and when these "mets" were taken out and sent to pathology, there was no sign of breast cancer in any of them (four out of five were completely benign, the fifth one wasn't, but still, not a breast cancer met.)

But before that, I'd want them to repeat the scans once treatment is finished to find out if there is still anything there to be seen, or it's all gone now.

Thanks, that’s great advice

Hey I had a lesion on my liver too, it turned out to be nothing.  Get the scans first.  Hugs xx

Hi! I had 5 liver lesions on CT scan and was sent to PET. They proved to be 4 hemangioma and one cyst without any response to the contrast solution. Hope you`ll receive good news.

Thank you, I remain hopeful!
