This year has been hell of a ride. I don't love thrillers, God now gotta lower the pace so I can revert back to my normal life.
So to recap, dad's pelvic and sacral mets were found in March, 2022. We radiated it with 45Gy, early scan still showed growth in both places. And then dad started having intestinal obstruction and has barely passed any gas in last 3-4 weeks or maybe more
And our most recent scan showed increase in pelvic mass to 5.3 cm and suddenly there is also a liver lesion of 3.6 cm which was never in our June scan. The Onco surgeon suggests to get it operated and gave us a poor prognosis. His current treatment plan is to operate that pelvic mass and then give temporary colostomy. Though he also told us if there are some other little mets in colon that PET Scan might not have caught. If this happens, he told us that he might not be able to operate on it.
Have you guys seen any such case and what was the treatment plan followed for the same? I am really annoyed why is there a hypermetabolic liver lesion now, so suddenly and that too of 3.6 cm (SUV 5.7). Though lytic lesion have shown increased SUV but this time there was not soft tissue component around it (a little win).
