I messed mu Liverf

I went thru everything and they said that my chest lympnodes still hjad cancerf so I had taxol and they cleared however, they  found about a 1/2 in spot on my liver.  THey assumed it was cancer and bombarded me with Taxol.  My last scan showed multiple lessions and a blood clot in a vein in my liver.  They should have done a biopsy before chemo.  My gut feeling is that the chemo messed my liver.  Am sooo angry at my self and my doctors.  THey should have  done a biopsy.  what can I do to heal my liver.

Please advice

Do you think maybe they gave you the taxol because you had the cancerous lesion in your chest lymph nodes? That would make sense, and in that case they wouldn't do a biopsy because it doesn't really matter about your liver as the treatment would be the same? That is what was explained to me. i also have all those liver things and I know it's not cancer and would never undergo a liver biopsy. it really hurts, too. i just think they treated you because of the known cancerous lymphnode, and what they believe about your liver, or suspect is secondary here.

Hi,

Has there been a biopsy of your liver?  What are your physicians telling you about your current health status?  Have you consulted a liver specialist?  Do you have active cancer anywhere in your body right now?

If you don't have confidence in your current medical team, it's worth getting a second opinion from a different set of physicians and see if they offer you a different approach to caring for your health.

Let us know if we can help more, and how you are doing.

Warmly,

Chris
