I’m so sorry to hear about your father.
Because liver cancer is rarely discovered early and is difficult to control with current treatments, the prognosis is often poor. Even when treatments fail to provide much improvement, however, they often can help control pain and improve quality of life.
I hope that the site below is useful to you.

Most people don’t have signs and symptoms in the early stages of liver cancer, which means the disease may not be detected until it’s quite advanced. When symptoms do appear, they may include some or all of the following:

Loss of appetite and weight
Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right part of your abdomen, that may extend into your back and shoulder
Nausea and vomiting
General weakness and fatigue
An enlarged liver
Abdominal swelling (ascites)
A yellow discoloration of your skin and the whites of your eyes (jaundice)
Screening for liver cancer hasn’t been definitively proved to reduce the risk of dying of liver cancer. For this reason, many medical groups don’t recommend liver cancer screening. However, the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases recommends liver cancer screening for those thought to have a high risk, including people who have:

Hepatitis B and one or more of the following: Are an Asian male older than 40, Asian female older than 50 or African and older than 20, have liver cirrhosis, or have a family history of liver cancer
Liver cirrhosis from alcohol use
Hepatitis C
An inherited form of hemochromatosis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis
Discuss the pros and cons of screening with your doctor. Together you can decide whether screening is right for you based on your risk. Screening typically involves blood tests and an ultrasound exam once or twice each year.

Diagnosis
If you experience any of the symptoms of liver cancer, your doctor will ask you about your medical history and perform a physical exam. Tests and procedures used to diagnose liver cancer include:

Ultrasound (ultrasonography). This test uses sound waves to produce a picture of internal organs, including the liver. Ultrasound is painless and usually takes less than 30 minutes. While you lie on a bed or examining table, a wand-shaped device (transducer) is placed on your body. It emits sound waves that are reflected from your liver and transformed into a computer image. Ultrasound provides information about the shape, texture and makeup of tumors.
Computerized tomography (CT) scan. This test uses X-rays to produce cross-sectional images of your body. You may also have a variation of the test — known as a CT angiogram — in which contrast dye is injected into an artery in your liver. X-rays then track the dye as it flows through the blood vessels in your liver. A CT angiogram, which may take up to an hour to perform, can provide detailed information on the number and location of liver tumors, but a CT scan exposes you to more radiation than conventional X-rays do, and some people may experience an allergic reaction to the contrast dye.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI creates images using a magnetic field and radio waves. Sometimes a contrast dye also may be used. The test can take from 15 minutes to an hour. Newer MRIs can show images of the ducts that transport bile from the liver to the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum) as well as of the arteries and veins within the liver.
Liver biopsy. In this procedure, a sample of tissue is removed from your liver and examined under a microscope. Liver biopsy is considered the only definitive way to diagnose liver cancer. Your doctor may use a thin needle or a lighted instrument (laparoscope) to obtain the sample. Biopsy carries a risk of bleeding, bruising and infection.
Blood tests. Doctors sometimes use a blood test that checks for the presence of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) — a type of protein found in small amounts in adults — to detect liver cancer. But the test isn’t perfect. Not all malignant liver tumors produce AFP, and those that do may be advanced by the time protein levels become elevated. In addition, other types of cancer and even some noncancerous liver diseases can raise AFP levels.
Staging
Staging tests help determine the size and location of cancer and whether it has spread. Liver cancer may be staged in different ways. One method uses the Roman numerals I through IV, with higher numbers indicating cancers that are more advanced. A stage I tumor is small and confined to one lobe of the liver. By stage IV, several tumors may exist in different lobes, or malignant cells may have spread to other parts of the body.

Doctors may also use the following stages to describe primary liver cancer in adults:

Localized resectable. At this stage, the tumor is confined to one lobe of your liver and can be completely removed in an operation. The term “resectable” refers to a tumor that can be surgically removed.
Localized unresectable. The cancer is found in only one part of your liver, but can’t be completely removed, either because the noncancerous portion of your liver isn’t healthy or because the cancer is located near your liver’s main arteries, veins and bile ducts.
Advanced. This stage of cancer has spread throughout the liver or to other parts of your body, particularly the bones or lungs. You’re more likely to have advanced cancer if you also have cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.
Recurrent. This means the cancer has returned to your liver or to another part of your body after being treated.
Stages of primary cancer in children
Doctors use the following stages to describe childhood liver cancer:

Stage I. At this stage, the cancer can be removed with surgery.
Stage II. Most stage II liver cancers can be removed with an operation, but microscopic amounts of cancer remain in the liver after surgery.
Stage III. At this stage, some of the cancer may be surgically removed, but some will remain in the lymph nodes or abdomen.
Stage IV. This stage of cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Recurrent. This means the cancer has returned after it has been treated. It may recur in the liver or in another part of the body.

There are several choices for colon cancer screening that one can choose from. Flexible sigmoidoscopy, FOBT, a combination between those two, colonoscopy or barium enema are the screening options for colon cancer. As you can imagine, all these options have their advantages and disadvantages. These can differ from a colon patient to another. There are some factors that have to be taken into consideration when a colon cancer patient chooses one of these strategies:

- the preference of the colon cancer patient;

- medical contraindications;

- adherence;

- the resources that are available for testing;

The clinic where the patient goes to do the screening for colon cancer should also talk to people about benefits and also about the risk that the colon cancer patient must face in each of these options that are available to him.

The screening intervals depend from a test to another. For example, if you choose the FOBT test for colon cancer, an annual screening is recommended. It is proved to reduce the rate of mortality. However, this colon cancer screening type unfortunately gives a lot of false- positive results. If colonoscopy is your choice, then this colon cancer screening must be done once in ten years. A shorter period of time, about five years, is recommended in barium enema. The reason is that this colon cancer screening option is thought to have a lower sensitivity. However, besides FOBT, all the other colon cancer tests can be done in shorter intervals as well, because studies have revealed that some of these tests can be effective even when done in those shorter intervals.

The age that both men and women should start screening for colon cancer is 50 years, because there is a great incidence of colon cancer above this age. However, if one of your family members is diagnosed with colon cancer, then it would be best for you to start screening even if you have not yet reached 50. There is no certain age when screening for colon cancer must be discontinued. However, in general, screening for colon cancer has been restricted to people that are older than 80 years.

The cost of these colon cancer screening tests also varies from a test to another. Colonoscopy is generally thought to be the most expensive of all these tests, but also the most sensitive. Furthermore, if colonoscopy is your choice, then you should know that this colon cancer screening tests also requires highly trained doctors besides the cost.

No way! I’ve been on it for decades and so has most of my family. Synthroid is one of the oldest and safest drugs on the market. The only thing you want to be careful of is not to take too much – it can lead to a racing pulse and heart arrhythmias if you try to use it to lose weight by making yourself HYPERthyroid.

Just get a blood test every six or twelve months to make sure your dosage is correct. And if you change to a different brand or generic, get tested again. They don’t all work exactly the same and your hormone levels can drop or rise if you change brands.

Are you sure the mass is 9 mm?
That is so small it would be difficult to see on any scan.
I suspect you mean 9cm. How do you know it is stage IV?
We really don’t have enough details here to give an educated answer.
Her doctors who have all of the clinical information are the best people to make guesses.
If she is referred for hospice, it means that her doctors expect less than six months survival.
No doctor can ever predict the end for any person months in advance.
We make estimates based on experience with many other people,
but each person is different.
If she does have bacterial sepsis, that could take her this week.
No one can know the future.

What your brother has is a stage 4 bladder cancer which doesn’t happen very often. Squamous cell and adenocarcinoma have the poorest prognosis. However, at this point his prognosis is very poor regardless of the histology. Probably 7-9 months. Hopefully the clinical trial he is on will buy him more time. I am very sorry.

Lung cancer may be the most tragic cancer because in most cases, it might have been prevented, 87% of lung cancer cases are caused by smoking. Lung cancer has long been the most common cause of cancer death in men and since 1987 it has also become the most common cause of cancer death in women. Lung cancer is the second most commonly occurring form of cancer in most western countries and although the lung cancer incidence is less common in developing countries, the rapid increase in the popularity of smoking will see the number of lung cancer sufferers in those countries quickly catch up with the western world.

Lung cancers can arise in any part of the lung, and 90%-95% of cancers of the lung are thought to arise from the epithelial, or lining cells of the larger and smaller airways (bronchi and bronchioles); for this reason, lung cancers are sometimes called bronchogenic carcinomas or bronchogenic cancers.
The most common type of lung cancers are epidermoid carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma.

Most experts agree that lung cancer is attributable to inhalation of carcinogenic pollutants by a susceptible host. Who is most susceptible? Any smoker over the age of 40, especially if they began smoking before the age of 15, have smoked 20 or more for 20 years, or worked with or near asbestos. Two other factors also increase susceptibility: exposure to carcinogenic industrial and air pollutants (asbestos, uranium, arsenic, nickel, iron oxides, chromium, radio active dust, and coal dust.) and familial susceptibility.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Because early lung cancer usually produces no symptoms, the disease is often in an advanced stage when first diagnosed. Late stage signs are: with epidermoid and small cell carcinoma; smokers cough, hoarseness, wheezing, dyspnea, hemoptysis and chest pain. With adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma; fever, weakness, weight loss, anorexia and shoulder pain. In addition, hormone production which regulates various body functions may also be affected.

DIAGNOSIS
Firm diagnosis requires chest x rays, sputum cytology, CT scanning, bronchoscopy the examination of pleural fluid and biopsies. Other tests to detect metastasis include bone scans, bone marrow biopsy and CT scans of the brain and abdomen.

METASTASES
Lung cancer most often spreads to the liver, the adrenal glands, the bones, and the brain. Lung cancer that has metastasized to the bone causes bone pain, usually in the backbone (vertebrae), the thighbones, and the ribs. Lung cancer that spreads to the brain can cause difficulties with vision and weakness on one side of the body.
Lung cancer may grow into certain nerves in the neck, causing a droopy eyelid, small pupil, sunken eye, and reduced perspiration on one side of the face; together these symptoms are called Horner’s syndrome (see Autonomic Nervous System Disorders: Horner’s Syndrome). Lung cancer may grow directly into the esophagus, or it may grow near it and put pressure on it, leading to difficulty in swallowing. Lung cancer may also spread through the bloodstream to the liver, brain, adrenal glands, spinal cord, and bone.

TREATMENT
Treatment for lung cancer depends on the cancer’s specific cell type, how far it has spread, and the patient’s performance status. If investigations confirm lung cancer, CT scan and often positron emission tomography (PET) are used to determine whether the disease is localised and amenable to surgery or whether it has spread to the point where it cannot be cured surgically. Treatment is usually a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Surgery is usually the first option. Chemotherapy can be used as a first line treatment for lung cancer or as additional treatment after surgery. Radiation therapy can be directed at your lung cancer from outside your body (external beam radiation) or it can be put inside needles, seeds or catheters and placed inside your body near the cancer (brachytherapy). Radiation therapy can be used alone or along with other lung cancer treatments. Radiation therapy can also be used to lessen side effects of lung cancer.

Treatment may not be as effective for patients with bone or liver metastases from lung cancer, excessive weight loss, ongoing cigarette use, or pre-existing medical conditions such as heart disease or emphysema. At some point, if you and your oncologist or primary care physician agree that treatment no longer is advisable, hospice care can provide comfort.
