l can understand how you feel having gone through similar myself. Unfortunately you get ready because you have little choice, just crack on and determine that you have more staying power than your cancer visitor does.

When you have been diagnosed previously as stage 4, you are always aware of the possibility of it returning hence the five years of checks post surgery, only then are you given the cancer free statement, until then its a case of no presence identified.

Your journey is not quite over yet, but take heart that it is not aggressive but persistent, and that you are capable of finally seeing it off.

Hopefully this is the final skirmish and it goes well, quickly and does not get in the way of you and your family getting on and enjoying life,

Every success,

David

thanks David. Today my treatment plan is finalized they will put me on chemo which i have to take once in three weeks and they will ablate the liver lesion. I hope this chemo is manageable compared to the worst chem i had for my primary colorectal tumor in 2020, each chemo lasted for 48 hrs infusion through port. I hope for the best and finger crossed.

Had a PET scan and to my luck PET results are completely negative similar to CT. PET confirms no active lesions or disease anywhere in the body.

Now Drs are bit confused. I was about to start the Chemo yesterday, but they have put my treatment on HOLD. They said, they will do the MDT and revert to me.

Fingers crossed - I hope it ends up nothing

they are going ahead with MRI results they said it is below the resolution of PET. Looks like the people in MDT compared all the images and confirmed that it is consistent with solitary MET. Starting chemo from Wednesday - I hope treatment works well 

That’s good news wishing you all the best hope it goes well x 

I was hoping they would agree with PET as it negated MRI but they said MRI is very powerful.

How are you doing now? 
my dad had pancreatic cancer went through the whipple which was such a massive operation! And after lots of chemo and the whipple they said he had something on his liver and possibly stomach lining now, however the radiologist said if he was a betting man he would say it’s not cancer and looks like an infection. The biopsy came back saying no infection and then on Friday we got the news it is cancer, we are absolutely devastated. 
What did they say about the chemo for the met? 
I hope you are feeling ok! Sorry you are going through this.

I'm Ok Ok. Undergoing chemotherapy infusion every two weeks and twice a day chemo oral med. They will do 4 sessions of chemo and do MRI, they said that MET might shrink, or they may ablate it. This chemo capox is really terrible. I hope all goes well and we find success in the treatment.

I hope thing go well with your father. If it is one MET they may zap it or will put him in systematic therapy. 

I pray everything goes well !

Thank you so much for replying. Glad you are doing ok and under treatment, praying that the Met shrinks for you!! We’re not sure yet if my dad has  1 met or what yet, he’s just so poorly so I don’t think he is going to manage chemo but I wanted to ask around and research if they would do anything else like blast the tumours with radiotherapy etc. 

thank you 

if he is not in a position to manage, they will remove it by blasting it or remove it by surgery. It all depends on the staging of that MET.

This is my second re-lapse in 4 years of initial diagnosis they put me under systematic therapy. 

I hate this treatment but no other go. This everyday chemo tablets is horrible, I'm in continuous chemo from last 50 days. 

They have said today at the hospital (not the oncologist though) that if they blasted it then it would Just move to other parts of the body but I want them to try!  I can’t give up. 

sorry you have gone through this it’s absolutely awful! 
Chemo is just horrible, made my dad so poorly.
Wishing you luck with your treatment.
