When I had my surgery at Duke, I was in the room next to a gentleman that had Mets to the liver and to a lung on the initial diagnosis. They gave him chemo and radiation and then did surgery. He was up walking around when I left so I don't know how he did eventually, however I do know if they can reduce the size of the mets and think they might have a chance of saving his life they will help at Duke. Good luck. I know this is such a scary time. I wish I could do more, but second and third opinions are important. Please continue to post so that we can know how you are doing.
