Thanks for the response. Just today I got an oncology appt scheduled which is 3 weeks from now. I realized this morning that I was scared as I had some unexpected pain yesterday. But I messaged my doctor about it today. I don’t want to be in unnecessary pain. I’m happy to hear that you have done so well even with mets to liver. Yes, I do understand its lung cancer in my liver. I also have a cyst in pancreas and IPMN in pancreas. But I’m willing to listen to oncologist. I’ve read that chemo basically is no help for the liver. Did you find that to be true? What therapies did you try?

@artistrose , The genetic testing that @mamajite mentioned was beneficial for me too. My cancer was found to be driven by an ALK positive mutation. I started a targeted therapy (pills), and that has been responsible for clearing up the cancer in the lungs and the liver.
I'm happy to hear that you have an oncology appointment set up. Knowledge is important. Each of us has a different response and experience, but we can come together to support one another. Sending hugs.
