How fast does adenocarcinoma grow??

@bradthompson88 If you did a biopsy check the report to see how defined the cancer cells are. Highly defined means aggressive and fast-growing. But you are going on chemo now so the growth will be arrested and I hope they shrink!
Metastasis on the liver is really hard to read (unless you did an MRI but even then..) so 20 could include some ‘shadows’ which may not be cancerous but are lumped in with tumours bec you already have cancer.

Much appreciated. Poorly differentiated is what the called it.

The crazy part is until yesterday, I have had zero pain since the diagnosis. Now, the back pain is showing up that I have read about.

At least no jaundice.

Your words help a lot. I’m waiting on testing of the biopsy. It was done 2 weeks ago.

Sorry; highly differentiated (not defined) means slow-growing. I gave you wrong information.
