Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone here has been diagnosed with PC in the liver and could share their experiences? My dad was told it had spread to the liver last week and no treatment could be given. I don't know if its similar like spreading to the lungs etc. I'm still trying to learn and understand but I'm equally devasted that nothing can be done.
Sometimes it's a matter of if it has spread to the liver despite all the treatment options, then the side effects and discomfort would far outweigh any small benefit, sometimes pre-existing conditions, or the damage already done by the cancer means he'd not be able to manage it. Sometimes, like the lungs, any treatment would further damage the healthy tissue of the liver. - but it does all depend on where he's at, and what treatments he has already had.

If I can't beat this, I'm going for the draw.
Meanwhile, my priority is to live while I have the option.
