@cathy80 Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. It isn't uncommon for people to find out a cancer diagnosis at the end of testing for something else. But, it still is a punch in the gut hearing liver and cancer. It is quite understandable that you are scared. I know this is all new and probably overwhelming, but I just want to learn a little bit more about what is going on. I hope that is ok? It is also ok to say that you don't know. Was your husband diagnosed with liver cancer or cancer in his liver? For example, I have pancreatic cancer that spread to my liver. So I have cancer in my liver, but I actually have pancreatic cancer. Did the doctors also find cancer in his colon to biopsy? Thank you.

1 ReactionThank you. He actually went in to er for a fall from feeling weak. They did an x ray for his fall & found spots in his lung liver & colon. The only biopsy that came back yet is the liver. It looks like it started in the colon first though.

2 Reactions@cathy80 So until the biopsy results are back, the doctors probably don't have much to go on. The locations and the type of cancer are big considerations in determining treatment options. Any idea when the biopsy results might come back?
