ABOUT LIVER CANCER

Liver cancer is cancer that begins in the cells of your liver. Your liver is a football-sized organ that sits in the upper right portion of your abdomen, beneath your diaphragm and above your stomach.

Several types of cancer can form in the liver. The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma, which begins in the main type of liver cell (hepatocyte). Other types of liver cancer, such as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hepatoblastoma, are much less common.

Not all cancers that affect the liver are considered liver cancer. Cancer that begins in another area of the body — such as the colon, lung or breast — and then spreads to the liver is called metastatic cancer rather than liver cancer. And this type of cancer is named after the organ in which it began — such as metastatic colon cancer to describe cancer that begins in the colon and spreads to the liver. Cancer that spreads to the liver is more common than cancer that begins in the liver cells.

My dad just finished chemo on what his oncologist said was more than a dozen small tumours on his liver. Apparently being on chemo was the best he's felt since his cancer journey started; originally it was lung, then brain, ribs, liver and now possibly pancreas.

You're going to see me around this forum a lot thanks to him.

That is one of the worst parts of Cancer, most kinds can spread to the rest of your body. My Great Grandma had breast cancer, then a couple years after a mastectomy it 'came back' in her arm. She had her arm amputated from the elbow down, which worked for awhile. Then it she got it in her bones. It was a long 20 years battle from what I am told. She died the year before I was born.
