Hi

As you may know, dad was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer a month ago and he had his appointment yesterday to see if it had spread. He was told there's no evidence that it's spread anywhere. But there are 2 very very tiny nodules on his liver that they need to get an MRI to look into. They're not 100% saying it's cancer, they could be completley benign but too small to come up on the original scan, but because he already has cancer, they have to rule it out. I am aware that cancer in the liver seems to be incurable and I just can't cope with that idea. That within a month we've gone from not having 'cancer' (well, the diagnosis), to entertaining the possibility that it is terminal. I can't lose him. Not yet, he's only 56. Is there anyway to cure liver cancer? I know it's a generalised question but how long can you live with secondary liver cancer? If the original cancer is cured by chemo, then can the liver be cured too? They have said that if there is cancer in the liver, then they won't put him through the trauma of a big surgery to rid him of the eosophageal. It's just too much to think about. Even though we don't know if that's the case yet, I've got to work today and made so many mistakes I just can't concentrate.
