My oncologist once told me that my cancer had spread to my liver—four tumors. I asked him point blank if I had cancer in that organ. But after an MRI on the liver it was determined that that it was not in my liver and had only spread to the lymph node system. After three surgeries I have been cancer free since October, 2000. Doctors do make mistakes. I had medullary thyroid cancer. My oncologist had arranged to have me get modified chemo. But alas it turned out that I did not need it nor radiation. It is a bit unnerving to be basically told that you are dying. I thank God that he had been mistaken!
