Anyone here have liver mets consisting of muscinous tumors? After seeing a specialist, he advised to have a PET scan to determine if the cancer cells in this area were dormant or active. The results showed that chemotherapy killed a majority of the cancer cells, with only the outside edges of the tumors showing activity.
With this additional insight, I was provided the options of going to a lower dosage of chemotherapy, in addition to receiving treatment 3 days every 4-5 weeks instead of every other week. This afforded my body the opportunity to rebuild its immune system between breaks in treatment.
