New Liver Met recurrence

I was diagnosed for stage 4 Colorectal cancer with 1 Met in Liver in Jan 2020, had an aggressive treatment and cleared off cancer in Dec 2020. In Apr 2022 had a 1 cm recurrence in peritoneal surface, it was resected, and I was once again free from disease till I had my scans in Feb 2024. Unfortunately, when I had scans in July, they found a new Met recurrence in Liver, it shows up on MRI and not on CT, but they are confident it is a recurrence. I just met the Consultant they are going to present my case in MDT and planning to resect it and put me on Chemo. I'm feeling very sad and frustrated that after 2-year of clean scans this new stuff popped out.

They said chemo after resection is good which will control the risk of recurrence. 

Not sure how do I get ready for one more treatment. Feeling very sad

  • Sorry to hear this and I do think once we have had cancer there will always be that fear of it happening again but you are obviously strong and got through before and can do again don’t lose heart positivity counts for a lot.

    i have same but my colon is stage 1 I have two mets in my liver along with a large hemangioma but have been told all operable will hopefully know when next week. 
    take care x

  • Sorry to hear your condition. I'm sure you will get through this. thanks for your words.

    I accept it and move strongly but when I see my wife and kids who also through these emotions with me, I feel frustrated, and I feel I'm the reason and I think I'm unable to keep them happy. They were with me from Jan 2020. 

    let's hope for the best

  • Aw I know exactly how you feel my husband cried everytime he looked at me made me feel so guilty they just care and people keep saying need to let them in but it’s hard 

    try to be kind to yourself they are probably more scared than you and am sure they are happy just worried as we all are

    friend told me if you write down what you feeling before going to bed then burn it it works in helping to empty your mind and get things out not tried it yet but they swear by it.
