Hello,
Hello,
Welcome to GRACE. Although a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer metastatic to the liver is a possible explanation for your findings, speculating about your scan findings and the cause of your symptoms is beyond the scope of this website. GRACE provides information on issues related to treatment of diagnosed cancers, and at this point you are in the early stages of workup on your findings, for which cancer is only one possible diagnosis.
I hope that your consultation with the gastroenterologist is informative and puts you on a path to understanding and resolving these issues. Since this appears to be a complex situation, at some point it may be advisable to obtain a second opinion, either to confirm a diagnosis or treatment plan, or help resolve any issues which remain ambiguous. Ideally, such a second opinion would best come from a teaching cancer center affiliated with a major medical school.

I only asked where I might
I only asked where I might find more information in regards to the link between the two. Thanks for telling in a nonchalant way that you can't help me.

Roy Masters who has a radio program says that cancer is a loss of spiritual life from one to another, by psychic vampires
He has a meditation exercise that can arrest this process, so what to lose?
