Sbrt
I have also been having recurrent liver mets since two resections and several ablation a in the past two years.
the recurrence is almost every two months after the previous treatment ( resection / ablation)
so far I have had two liver resections and had ablation done three times .
again after two months from the last ablation my cancer markers have increased -
as per previous experience this indicates another set of liver mets - which I think may show up on the scans !
Also, such fast and aggressive recurrences in liver is astonishing even to the drs.
is SBRT the way to go now ?
Any advise shall help.

Had SBRT in Aug
Hi,
I had sbrt on a lymph node and a small liver met. It was a non event. The radiation onc said 10% chance it would come back in the same spot....and if it did they would just nuke it again.....It's for local control, so since I'm stage IV...90% chance it will come back somewhere else. The treatment was a breeze...zero recovery time.
I am 4 1/2 years out from Stage IV. I had my first recurrence at 36 months (surgery) and 2nd recurrence at 50 months (SBRT). I've been off chemo for 3 years. Next scan is in Nov.
Good luck to you.
