Hi and thanks for the query,

I do understand how difficult you can feel at this point in time. I suggest to my patients, especially when there are nodules in the liver, to get a complete review of the liver function and structure. The opinion of a gastroenterologist/hepatollogist is usually very helpful. It is not the right thing at this point to discontinue treatment for colon cancer. This could lead to relapse and facilitate spread to other areas. A complete review by your treating physician and the gastroenterologist's opinion, to me are very important. Thanks and kind regards as I wish you good health.
