Bummed: Colon cancer has metastasized to my liver!

Hello Colleen. Yes, that's correct - secondary liver cancer. Recent scans have indicated 3 spots each about 1 cm in diameter, not sure of the depth. All very frustrating as I feel 100% fit and have no symptoms. I have returned recently from cycling 305 miles in France over 7 days and another 100 since (albeit on an e-bike!) I'm waiting for a date for a liver resection, probably early August. C'est la vie!

@martin77, the cycling trip in France sounds amazing. What region did you explore?

Drat! I'm sorry to hear that the cancer has made a reappearance in the liver. But hopeful that a resection is the answer. Luckily there several treatment options available for liver mets, including surgery, image-guided interventional therapies, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. I'll be interested to learn what options are available for your specific situation.

Until then, keep pedalling that bike.
