Hi I’m hoping someone could help me, my mum has been diagnosed with rectal cancer and has been put on a course of a course of 5 days a week for 5 weeks of radiotherapy and chemo tablet.This is in the hopes of shrinking the tumour in her rectum them possibly continuing with 18 weeks of a combination of intravenous chemo and chemo tablet.Her mri has shown mets to her liver,which they first believed were normal cysts but now believe 3 out of 5 are liver metastases lesions,one being 15mm,one being 8mm and one being 6mm,all around the same area.They haven’t grown in size over the past month,they have stayed the same.The doctor rang today and said they will continue with the original plan of 5 weeks of radiotherapy and chemo tablet then possibly 18weeks of combination intravenous chemo and chemo tablet then possible surgery.They said they want to target the primary cancer first.Is this the standard way of doing things? I’m just slightly concerned that the mets her liver might get bigger or spread by the time they target them?Thank you so much
