Liver Spots Treatment
Question by hnybzthms: How long do think even with treatment?
Hi my mum had kidney cancer and as a result had her right kidney removed in Jan 08, she had no further treatment and was given the all clear, in Nov 08 she had a ct scan which was clear, she had another one in March this year and it showed a spot on the centre of her liver.
She has had an MRI can and had it confirmed on Friday that it is cancer which must of spread from the kidney. The spot is 15mm and we have been told its incurable, they are going to offer treatment to help prolong things. What i want to know does anyone with this type of cancer and with where it is are we looking at a long time left or is this likely to progress quickly. My mum is well at the moment with no symptoms. And i’d rather have some idea the longest we’re looking at as my Dad from cancer 4 yrs ago which did go quick.
Many thanks

Patients in your mother’s situation usually die within 2 years if untreated. With treatment the 5-year survival rate is 16%. How well she does will depend on how well she responds to treatment. I’m very sorry.

I am so so sorry to hear about your mum, but unfortunately there is no set time for any type of cancer, i know it is frustrating but no one can tell. You can survive your whole life with cancer, but as you have found out it can kill very quickly.
I hope that everything turns out the best that it can, what i can recommend is that if she ever needs an mri scan again take earplugs in with you as those things are VERY noisy and can give yu a bad headache.
Lots and lots of love
Get a second opinion before you settle for the answer that it’s incurable. It really doesn’t sound to me like one spot in your liver should be a death sentence. I know it depends on where it’s located and such, but it’s always a good idea to have it looked at by someone else before you wave the proverbial white flag. You might find someone who is willing to put forth a little more effort to save her.
