How bad is it if a person has both cancer of the colon and cancer of the liver


How bad is it if a person has both cancer of the colon and cancer of the liver?
My mother in law has it. They already removed part of her colon...then they found the liver cancer and now she needs chemo and radiation. It's pretty scary.

Colon cancer is one of the worst. Both together would be bad news indeed....

I'll be honest. The outlook is not very good. My husband's mother had cancer just like this. They did what surgury they could (removed her colon and as much of the cancer around the liver that they could). She also had chemo and tried experimental drugs. She lived long enough to see her son (my husband) graduate from college (before we were married) and died three months after that. She lived a total of 2 years after the cancer was initially found. We tried to set out wedding date early enough to give her another goal, but she was ready to go home to her Lord and Saviour in heaven. Who do you know who has this type of cancer? Give your support and prayers everyday. It will offer encouragement both for you and this person.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother in law it doesn't sound very good i would get some more information from the Dr. i'm sure they could answer this better for you.

Unfortunately the cure rate for liver cancer or liver metastases (cancer that has spread to the liver) is not good. Treatment options are typically for palliation (to control symptoms).
