    Hi,

    I am heading down today to get more info from Mass General. Last night I ended up in emergency room in maine with severe stomach pains and vomiting.  CT showed mass in my liver, no other info given except handed pain and nauseau meds and told to go down to MA to see my oncologist.  I will write when I know more, hopefully only contained in liver.  Hoping to pick everyones brains here once I have full info.  I did little search and saw King had liver mass removed and did well.

      Laurie,

      Hopefully, Dr. Lawrence can get you in quickly. I'm hoping it is something they can remove for you. Please let us know how things go with your appointment. Will be thinking of you.

        Did you have any signs or symptoms with your liver mets?

        Glad to hear you're still doing well.

        Hi Karen-Jean,

        How are you?  No, I had no signs nor symptoms with my liver met.  It was found on a routine scan after completing Interferon.  It was 3.3 cm then and 4.5 cm when surgically removed 2 months later.  The docs were surprised that I had no symptoms but I didn't. (All my liver enzymes were normal, too).

        Hope you're doing well.
