As for metastasis to the liver, it is not always very bad. I was diagnosed a year ago with carcinoid cancer with the primary in the terminal ileum and a metastasis to the liver. Now, carcinoid is not an aggressive cancer so there's not really a comparison there, but I do know that a small tumor can be completely cut out of the liver. The liver does regenerate.
My liver tumor was completely cut out last summer. Since his cancer has metastasized, there is the unfortunate circumstance of cancer cells floating around in there, but Tony has lots of people praying for him and great doctors, I'm sure.
He remains in my prayers, to be sure.
I'm glad you are doing better!
Oh my goodness, alnick! I am grateful that you are cancer-free and I am sorry that you had to go through that.
