DR. has found spots on her liver with a MRI

Hi, I am new to this forum.  I actually have two daughters with breast cancer at the same time.  The first one, Joy, is about to finish her chemo.  But my question is for the other daughter.Traci.  She has just been dianosed with breast cancer..  Before they do surgery, her Dr. ordered an MRI and Genetic blood teating. Joy, her younger sister, tested positive for the BRAC2 Mutation. They did Traci's Mri Wed. and her dr. called her Friday.  He said they found spots on her liver that concern him.  Now she is scheduled for  CT scan with contrast for Tuesday.  Has anybody had this experience.  If so, what was the outcome?  

I feel like I could write a book about my two girls.  I feel like I am in a nightmare and can't wake up.  I hope writing my feelings on this forum will help me and my family through this.  Joyce in Georgia

I originally was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003 at the age of 36. Had surgery, chemo, and radiation. February of 2008 rediagnosed with the breast cancer in my lungs and bones, and since then suspicious spots in my liver. I started on hormone drugs, but the cancer was advancing slowly. In addition, I developed plural effusions and fluid around the heart this past winter, spent three weeks in ICU; therefore, treatment of the cancer had to change. Since January, I have had three different kinds of chemos, which were not working. Just received the second treatment of another drug this past week. When I was rediagnosed, I was told by several doctors that it is now a chronic illness, but it is treatable. There are many breast cancer treatment options. I am assuming your daughter with the spots on the liver may receive a different treatment than your other daughter. Please know that there are several options. My doctor started at the bottom of the list. It made several people upset and they questioned me as to why I wasn't getting the big guns right away. I tried to explain it like the doctors, want to try the easiest so that if it works they didn't waste the others, but still have them to turn to down the road. Please ask your doctors all your questions, no question should go unasked or  unanswered. If you aren't happy with the doctor, find the right one for you. Your daughters relationship with the doctor is the most important as it is her trust in him/her and what he/she is doing!! Be your own advocates!!!

May you find this difficult time made easier by accepting the help of others. Blessings to you and your family! Lisa

Lisa,  Thank you for your responce.  You are so right about having faith in your dr.  We have had such good vibes with Joy's drs.  She is the one that was diagnosed in Feb.  Traci is just starting the process of all this right now.  She will be doing the ct scan with contrast about her liver in the morning.  All of this is about too much to absorb.  She is seeing a different dr than Joy, but we have confidence in him also.

Bless your heart!!  Sounds you have been and are still going down a rough road.  My heart and prayers go ou to you.  I would like to hear how things are going for you.  Take care.
