Hi all. My sister, Reagan, underwent treatment for salivary cancer last year including surgery and radiation. I've posted here before and everyone was so wonderful with advice and support. She made it through the treatment and two weeks ago had an all-clear CT scan. Since then she's been throwing up (some blood), horrible back pain, and low grade fever. Finally yesterday it got so bad she went to Emergency where they did x-rays and another CT scan on her stomach. It showed multiple spots on her liver. The doctor told her he thought that maybe her salivary gland cancer had started with the liver cancer but it never was diagnosed. She has no insurance and I can't help but think they didn't run all the tests they would've on someone with insurance. Anyway, we're scheduled to get a referral tomorrow for an oncologist who treats liver cancer. I have no idea what to even expect now. But I guess I'll be saying goodby to this board and trying to find one that provides info on this other type of cancer. Thanks to all of you who've been so wonderful. You've got my admiration and respect and I hope that each and every one of you makes it through this horrible disease!
