Secondary cancer in 2 locations No primary found yet

First time I have been on a forum like this and Im sorry if i ramble but i have so many questions, a lot i know i wont get answers for.

My mother found out last week that she has secondary cancer in both her Lungs and Liver with no sign at the moment of her Primary. They are completing another CT scan and ulta sound to try to locate it. From my understanding the lung cancer is about the size of a 5 to 10p. her Liver cancer is pretty much all over.

From my understanding the secondary cancer (metastatic) is stage 4, however we dont know what grade at this stage. I am trying to be as positive as I can be for her. But inside me I need to know a No ******** response. I deal better with things knowing what im dealing with so I can help her forward plan and get her the help she needs. Everyone thinks Im being a little negative but I am far from that. 

I just want to be able to help her. Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Zoe although I'm sorry to read about your mother.

    I think many of our members will understand how you're feeling at the moment having sadly been in similar situations with their parents and loved ones so hopefully you'll get some support and advice from them soon, but in the meantime I just wanted to share this section we have on our website for family, friends and caregivers.

    I know it's not much but I do hope it helps a bit and we will all have our fingers crossed that they're able to find the primary.

    Kind regards,
