Hi Dinah, you mentioned your continuous weight loss and the spread of cancer to another part of body. I wish to know if weight loss a major indicator of metastasis. In your case I know it has spread to liver. What other symptoms did you develop? Even when I have CT scan , MRI and ultrasound they only focus on the head and neck area. Whether it has spread to elsewhere cannot be detected early. I have told my oncologist about my concern and he just said that I need not worry too much. They will perform tests if I feel something wrong. So what is that something?
Karen.
