Bummed: Colon cancer has metastasized to my liver!

@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.

Hi Colleen. We did a circular tour of the Cherbourg peninsular in Normandy. Day 1 was to Utah Beach down the East coast to see the American D-Day museum which was amazing. Then south and west to Avranches for nice views of Mont St Michel before heading back up the west coast. Lots of fine French food and wine to enjoy!
Three small cancerous spots have been found on my liver as a result of a CT scan in May followed by a PET scan and an MRI in June. I've been told that surgery provides the best chance of a cure but follow up chemo might be necesssary. Thanks for your comments on the options available. I shall discuss all of these with the team looking after me at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
Whilst waiting for a date for the operation I am indeed keeping up the pedalling! Another 35 miles today and the same again on Thursday, so life goes on as normal.
