:hugs: thanks schoolteacher,mum has been coping well with the chemo,they will do more tests to see if there has been any change because they don't know what type of cancer they are dealing with.
Your right Jannet sometimes the primary is never found,I think it's because the body fight it off but has already infected another part of the body,a spread.

Rosa,
I believe some primary tumours are never identified. If they believe the liver is a secondary? I hope your Mum does well with the treatment. I imagine you have a very close and supportive family. :hugs:

So sorry Rosa....so hard on the family having to deal with it all again. I know you will be a huge support to her but tough with the chemo etc. It will bring it all back to you. I hope she tolerates chemo well. Poor dad as well! It really is such a shock as we all know and a frightening time, especially when you are first diagnosed.

Hugs

I'm so sorry to hear that Rosa. I hope she does very well with her treatment.

A close friend has pancreatic cancer and it is an awful shock when a well person is all of a sudden a cancer patient and particularly a very nasty one. :hugs:

:hugs: Rosa I am so sorry to hear this terrible news - its just everywhere this damn disease. Here's hoping the chemo will be effective and quickly. I don't know much about liver cancer but I have read and heard that treatment is targeted and much better these days. Let us know how she goes. I hope the family rallies together to help and it doesn't fall to you to be carer.
