Hi everyone, I was initially diagnosed in dec 2018 with primary breast cancer, two months later I was told they had discovered one very large tumour and over twenty small ones in my liver. I started chemotherapy Fec-T, following my fourth cycle I started having stitch like pain in my liver area. This gradually got worse and I started taking morphine tablets 70mg twice a day and oramorph as top up. Following my fifth cycle I was in hospital with an infection for a fortnight . The decision was taken to stop chemo and continue with targeted therapy every three weeks. I have trastruzumab and pertuzumab. My first scan results were amazing 16 small tumours had vanished and my 55mm tumour has shrunk to 22mm. The scan showed my liver was not enlarged. Unfortunately the pain in my liver area continues, my oncologist doesn’t know why. Has anybody experienced anything like this, it’s a stitch like feeling, but worse. i also seem to be having terrible side effects from my treatment, flu like symptoms and pain so bad in the sacrum area of my back I can’t bend. Its been an overwhelming six months and any information on peoples experiences with liver mets would help x
