Can Liver Secondaries Spot "change" To A Cyst In Cancer?
my friend has been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in the liver and bones..she has been having faith healing and is now saying that the liver spot has 'changed' into a cyst...even tho I would like to believe in miracles, the only thing I can imagine is that her original oncologist misdiagnosed..even tho I find that hard to believe too! Thank you

Hi
Thank for choosing HCM
As long as malignancy is (Cancer ) is concern if it is final diagnosis and not treated in time then it could form the secondary lesion in body system, and metastasis too, some time natural remission may takes place but this happens in very rare cases, and it should not be taken as granted or weight for that, once it is malignancy diagnosed then it has to be treated at earliest, (Misdiagnosis is likely but with second and third opinion diagnosis can be confirmed ) hope this information helps.
