hello Keiracat,

l had something similar, diagnosed with bowel cancer with possible affected  lymph nodes so had radio/chemo prior to planned surgery.. Before this took place a pre op scan showed liver mets with further scanning showing they were very fast moving . Fortunately my liver surgeon won the argument with the bowel surgeon over who should get first crack. His post op comment was that had it have been left for a further two weeks he would not have been able to resect.

Unlike my case where chemo had no effect on the liver mets, your husband is fortunate in that respect, so the hope will be that further chemo will beat the tumours back down to a size that allows enough recovery time for surgery to proceed successfully.

l hope you will get all your specific questions answered by the professionals and that a little further along the line you get some better news since treatments continue to make progress with better success year on year,
