Thanks for sharing such a courageous story of your journey of beating the cancer, Chris!

My MRI result came back with a huge surprise! It confirmed that I indeed have Breast cancer (Invasive ductal carcinoma of grade 2, ER+, PR+, Her2-); however, it also showed "a partly visualized 4.3 cm T2 bright well-defined cystic lesion in the left lobe of liver". Apparently this "partly visualized cystic lesion" in my left lobe of liver is huge and much bigger than my breast cancer mass, which one should I fight first? Isn't there any medical equipments that use current technology to detect all cancerous cells in the patient's body to determine which is the most critical one to deal with first?
Thanks in advance for any wise advice! My heart goes out to you all!!

Surprise isn’t quite the word I would have chosen, but I suppose it is a more acceptable response to such shocking news.
There is a pretty definitive image for finding what is active cancer, a PET scan will probably be ordered for you to check for any other places.
The question will be if the the lesion in the liver is breast cancer in the liver or something else entirely. If it turns out to be cancer, you will likely fight them simultaneously.
How are you handling this? Are they scheduling a ton of appointments for you to move forward?
