Possible spread of hubbys lung cancer to liver

Hi

I had a similar experience during the diagnosis process. CT scan showed an area of concern in the liver. However a subsequent ultra-sound scan identified the area as a clump of blood vessels. I had the impression that this 'concern' happens quite frequently as the liver is packed to the brim with blood vessels.

Although it is very frustrating, it is extremely  important that all areas of concern are fully explored in order for the correct treatment plan to be developed.

Hope this helps a bit.

That is brilliant so glad to here it’s 8 years gives others hope xxxx

Hi

jusy flicking through and wondered what treatment you had? I have just started immunotherapy as they couldn’t surgically remove and the radiotherapy did not work

Hi kegsy 

what stage were you at my small cell lung cancer is in one lung my chest and 3 limph nodes the consultant said she hadn’t ruled out cure then said take a month at a time and a have a 50 plus chance of a year , did you get immunotherapy treatment after chemo and radiotherapy xxx am so confused

Hi hil13, at the start of my journey ct scan showed lesions in my liver, pet scan showed this to be nothing of concern. It did however show spread to lymph nodes. Try and stay positive (easier said than done, I know). These people are experts and need to explore every nook, cranny and possibility to ensure they have a treatment plan designed especially for their patient. Take care and stay strong. Xx

Hi olive 53, I have nsclc in one lung, spread to lymph nodes and as things stand at the moment, I am due for 2 x 3 weeks chemo, then move to another hospital for another 2 x 3 weeks chemo with targeted radiotherapy every day, this with intent to cure. After this oncologist has said immunotherapy for a year. Fingers crossed. Unfortunately something else has showed in pelvic area that is suspicious so plans may change. Will find out Monday, yesterday I was angry and yapping, today I'm back on form and full of positivity! Take care and stay strong xx

Brilliant a felt the same angry then teary yesterday positive looking myself for immunotherapy drugs

thank you we can all support each other and beat this with all the new meds coming out xxx

Hi he has been told it is a cancer spread from lung in his liver...it took 2 weeks for this after the PET scan...in the mdt mtg it was decided that more SABR radiotherapy might help shrink this and we are currently in wait mode again to hear if this is possible...if not then it will be chemo..which at present he is not at all keen on..

Its so good to have this forum to discuss and share.. thankyou to you all and hope to have more positive news soon.
