My wife was diagnosed with primary Duedonal cancer which has spread to the liver, she is a

otherwise healthy 54 female in excellent physical condition.  She has been treated

with chemo three times once every two weeks , they have done a cat scan and stated that the tumors in her liver have not reduced and taken her off of chemo. Kaiser is the insurance company , I'm concerned after only three treatments that this would be long enough to drop her care?  Does anyone have any knowledge as to weather this would be a  short time to expect results in such a short period of time.

can you contact other doctor??
			
Hi, my aunt has pancreas ca mets/liver. it´s dificult to say something about results in short periods, but can you talk to another doctor to have some more informations about??? or you can search in the internet some sites related to chemo and results, in my poor opinion a good doctor gives some details that are too important to understand why, where, how, when, how long and who can help in the specific case. God bless you

my mom too...
			
My mom is 81 & survived Stage IV uterine cancer for 5 years & then it met. to liver.  They found the tumor in her liver Dec. 2009.  The when she started a round of chemo, the tumor was 5 cm & I remained the same thru out chemo, but they had to stop due the debilitating side effects.  The CT Scan in 07/10 showed it had grown to 6.7 cms in 2 mos.  Her CA-125 level is good at 35 & all labs are normal, even her liver function.  We are having to decide if she will do another type of chemo or not.  My mom has Kaiser Ins. too.  Her doctor told us that surgery & radiation was not an option & even chemo won't result in remission.  Chemo will only be to give her more time, although he has not mentioned if we are talking months or years.  


How is your wife doing now?  I hope well

mestatic liver cancer
			
I was dx w/mestatic liver cancer before they found the primary cancer was breast.  I had chemo for 6 mths and  had to have a  mastectomy in May.   All along my liver responded well  no lesions and my levels are normal.  This was found from my blood work taken every 3mths because of the cholestrol meds.  Its been a year my liver is clear and the counts are normal.I have Herceptin every 3wks for the breast  cancer no other drugs for cancer.They say the liver heals well I've been positive it will get healthy and stay healthy.

Duedonal cancer that has spread to Liver
			
I'am a newly diagnosed 57 year old male with duedonal cancer which also had spread to the liver.  My treatment started with chemo every three weeks, Xeloda 500 MG, four in the morning and four in the evening for 14 days.  First round has not effected me at all.

My understanding is in three months I will get a cat scan to see if it has reduced the tumor in the small intestine.  Doctor explained to me that this treatment has good results but the problem it has spread to liver which is not cureable.  It has just been over whelming for me.
