Hello weebuds and welcome to the forum.
I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis and that a lump was found on your liver so you weren't able to have your operation. Have your medical team said if you would be able to have the operation if the r therapy is successful?
I know you're trying to find others in a similar situation and I have found a discussion about rectal cancer here where you can chat to others with the same diagnosis. Also Sean, aka [@Exilenumber53] , is in a similar situation to yourself and now that I've tagged him in this post I'm sure he will post to offer his support and share his experiences with you when he can.
I hope this helps and that your treatment goes well weebuds. Do keep us updated on your progress when you can.
Best wishes,

Hi weebuds,
Sorry to hear about the additional lump. I'm only just halfway through my chemo and radiotherapy, so still a way to go yet.
Trying to stay as positive as I can, with the help of family and friends. Did have a scare where I received a call at 5.30 on Friday night saying my Monday treatment was cancelled as they'd found a technical issue with my delivery treatment! I had to wait until Monday evening to find out what it was, and in the end it was just a tweak for my radiotherapy. However, I obviously jumped to the worst case scenario and experienced a few restless days and nights. I imagine with your news you're currently experiencing those feelings too and I feel for you. I'd try and remain as positive as possible, ask all the questions about your new treatment for this new lump and the options for surgery afterwards. The treatment options nowadays are phenomenal and hopefully they're working on a plan for you now.
easy for me to say, and probably not for you to do. But always here if you need a sounding board.
regards
sean
