Ideally, her oncologist will be on board, which will make me trust her more. She ordered CEA, CA 19-9, LDH etc., which tells me she's up-to-date and willing. I will keep my fingers crossed for rising MCV levels too!
As for liver, is it chicken, beef, or pork?

Re: Liver mets: ablation vs. surgery, pros? cons?
This is her no.1 liver source. Bought fresh, chicken livers at home, seared or cooked. Chicken liver is very high in folate. She had a restaurant that nominally served unlimited pate, but I suspect more chicken than goose liver.
I eliminated (excess) vitamin A from her supplements so as not to interfere with vitamin D, with too much vitamin A.
