For breast cancer survivors, the idea of taking estrogen pills is almost a taboo.
In fact, their doctors give them drugs to get rid of the hormone because it can fuel the growth of breast cancer.
So these women would probably be surprised by the approach taken by breast cancer physician Matthew Ellis, M.B., Ph.D., associate professor [...]

Whitney’s father is diagnosed with liver cancer stage 4 and asks our metastatic liver cancer survivors for advice. Eating more small portions a day is a smart practical solution to deal with an expanding liver.

We were asked to give a metastatic liver cancer prognosis to Padmanabhan who told his kidney cancer story in a comment at Liver Cancer Prognosis.
Padmanabhan’s doctors found a tumor in his liver and Padmanabhan wants to know whether it’s a metastatic liver cancer or just a liver tumor.
You should ask your doctor to answer [...]
The metastatic liver, stomach, brain and lung cancer story you read below could well be from your next door neighbour.
And maybe all you knew was "that he was terribly sick" and "had been rushed to the hospital more than once". But you don’t even have a clue how "terrible" terrible can get …
Or you [...]
Dan left a comment at Metastatic liver cancer mind games and is a metastatic liver cancer survivor for over 30 months now (that’s 2 and a half year).
That makes Dan our eldest secondary liver cancer survivor, followed by Trish (our first metastatic liver cancer survivor), who was diagnosed about 20 months ago.
Unfortunately, these [...]

Thanks Trish for explaining how embarrassment can kill, please come back and write more!
If you are a caregiver of a loved one with metastatic liver cancer , please read Trish’s cancer story.
Why? Because:
It is rare to hear first hand what really goes on in the mind of somebody having secondary cancer.
Why? [...]

After more than 100 secondary liver cancer stories told by loved ones, we are happy to introduce you to Trish who left her comment at Metastatic liver cancer mind games.
Thrish is seemingly using all the cancer treatments out there to survive metastatic liver cancer for more than 21 months after being diagnosed.
You can hear a [...]
In all the metastatic liver cancer stories we gathered, none of them is told by a cancer survivor.
Some do get chemotherapy, but this cancer treatment is only to:
reduce pain (in case it can temporarily reduce or slow down the growth of a cancer)
prolong life.
But we get puzzled when reading Kistan2’s comment on Avastin for [...]
We are getting lots of cancer stories reacties sharing how the mind of a metastatic liver cancer patient runs out of control as well as his body is. Read how we were not prepared for this and read Donna’s metastatic liver cancer story of her husband "seeing things".
Not prepared for the mind playing tricks on [...]
What can Avastin do in the treatment of metastatic liver cancer? Reading the avastin.com website says that Avastin in combination with intravenous 5FU based chemotherapy is indicated for first- or second-line treatment of patients with metastatic carcinoma of the colon or rectum.
In other words: it’s added to the 5FU chemotherapy cocktail, 5FU that father’s [...]
3 months after being diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer, father didn’t recognize his daughter in law visiting him… At days he had no clue what ‘dentures’ where doing in his mouth…
That are some of the "not too negative" tricks his mind started playing on him due to his liver not cleaning his blood properly… And [...]
Metastatic liver cancer prognosis
Linda asks our past experience in order to give a metastatic liver cancer prognosis for her aunt of 80 years (commented on
Metastatic liver cancer is unfair).
Our answer:
The candle can burn all the way when well taken care off and without a sudden unexpected breeze.
In our past experience we were given the following [...]
Eclairs covered with lots of chocolate was father’s new cancer treatment as in …a treat that brought a smile on father’s face!
Love is the best medicine!
Love doesn’t cure cancer and for sure chocolate is not a treatment for metastatic liver cancer. But love is the best foundation to give the much needed care a terminal [...]
Laura’s mother (75) has cancer of the small intestine that spread to her liver. Her mom started having colonoscopy’s at the age of 50 and nothing showed up ever…

Why is metastatic liver cancer so unfair asks Lyndsey in a comment on Alan’s liver cancer story?
Unfortunately we have no answer to this question…
We also asked ourselves why lots of people get away with bad things and a hard working father who always tried to do the best for his family and friends has [...]
Why is there no cure for metastatic liver cancer? Why do governments spend more money to kill people than to cure people?
Where are all the metastatic liver cancer survivors? Please leave a comment if you know any!
I saw a repeated Oprah show yesterday promoting the movie Sex and the City. Seems that Cynthia Nixon has [...]
Hotdogs contain preservatives, which in some cases is a cute word for poison. Pesticides is another word for pest killing poison and metastatic liver cancer will kill you for sure.
The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) and the World Cancer Research Fund concluded that when it comes to colon cancer, there is absolutely processed meat [...]
By Ray Lam A diagnosis of breast cancer can be enormously overwhelming and frightening for anyone. But when the diagnosis is that of metastatic breast cancer, the fear can be staggering. This type of cancer is defined as breast cancer that has spread from the breast - the original site of the cancer - to other parts of the body such as the bones, lungs, or liver. The treatment may be devastating t
You can easily compare the metastatic liver cancer end symptoms to your beloved snowman melting away in front of your eyes…
It’s already bad enough that modern health care isn’t able to detect metastatic liver cancer symptoms early. Doctors don’t prepare you for the deterioration of the liver cancer patient either….
All the information we got from [...]

As far as I remember, "undifferentiated adenocarcinoma metastatic liver cancer unknown primary" was father’s diagnosis.
I only got alarmed after the 5th word when it said:
cancer.
When I then saw father’s liver looking like a raisin bread over-generously filled with raisons…
Unfortunately in father’s case, these raisins were malignant tumors,
Today we thank Mandy and Sandy for sharing their liver cancer stories:
Sandy comments on: Primary and secondary liver cancer treatments
Mandy comments on: Angiosarcoma of the liver
Every cancer story is different: but sometimes you learn more form people who already went the cancer path than trying to figure out what the doctors are saying.

Mom was asked this week what the metastatic cancer from lung to liver life expectancy was. Which made mom crying rather than answering the question.

Although father is no more actively updating his cancer story site, he still keeps on talking. So let me write down some sentences he says: these sentences are snapshots but are very useful when summarizing what actually happens during palliative care.
Tired and sleepy

There are days that father [...]

Says the doctor to the cancer patient:if you have more pain:then you take more painkillers…..
Easy…
Imagine I put your thumb in a thumbscrew and start tightening it. But I know about pain management, so I give you a painkiller just enough to ease the pain.
You say "no problem, I don’t feel any pain…".
Until the [...]
