@grandmakat5 I actually have pancreatic cancer that mostly spread to my liver. When I was diagnosed about three years ago, my doctor said the liver metastasis caused him the most concern. Mine wasn't working properly. You need a liver to live. He said we need to keep me healthy for a few years. There are some really cool treatments coming to help with liver cancer. "The coolest uses sound waves." So, here we are with histotripsy.

I feel your fear with putting the poison in your body, but let me share a little of my journey. One of the meds the doc immediately put me on was capecitabine. It is the only chemo that I am still on. I had innumerable lesions on my liver covering most of it. The largest were around 8x6 cm. I am happy to say that the lesions have significantly reduced to under 20 with the largest being around 2 cm. After a few months of treatment, my liver started to work again. My body tolerates capecitabine well with minimal side effects. So, I know that we both don't like poisoning our bodies, but in my case, it kept me alive. Any questions about capecitabine?
