Second opinion
I was told my metastatic CRC in my peritoneum could possibly be removed surgically. I found out about this plus 1tumor on my liver just 5 days before surgery to remove my main tumor. My Oncologist said the peritoneum is very tricky to surgically remove. So I'll spend my time now trying to shrink it so it can be removed.
Have you considered a second Onc or Surgical opinion? I know of a few patients who had to see multiple physicians willing to treat tough CRC situations. Maybe a clinical trial is out there. Do not lose hope.
Sincerely, --Beth

3 mets in liver too. So not aAce13 said:HIPEC
Ask about HIPEC. They can do surgery and then treat with chemo directly in the abdomen to ensure they got everything. They will only do if mets are restricted to abdomen, which in this case sounds like it is.
3 mets in liver too. So not a candidate for hipec
