My husband also goes to MGH and "is" Stage 4 with 1 met to the liver that was surgically removed a few months ago. He probably has the same doctors as your sister as there is only one liver surgeon and one colorectal oncologist who specializes in liver cancer. I'm very surprised to hear that they are ready to throw in the towel. That doesn't seem at all like what I would expect from them. Were you at the appointment? This could just be your sister's perception about the situation. I will be adding your sister to my prayers.
