Hi, I originally had breast cancer which has now spread to the liver. I had chemotherapy which shrunk the tumour slightly. It showed no growth for almost a year and it started to grow again. I have just completed a course of radiation and due to go for another CT scan in order to see the results. The oncologist actually wanted me to consider surgery because there was only on tumour, but I was reluctant and opted for the radiation. Could someone perhaps give me some advice or guidance in this regard

Hi - therer is a form of radiation treatment being used in Oxford's Cancer Centre here, calle HIFu, now being touted for use in prostate cancer. It is less unpleasant than the usual one, and might be worth your while investigating.
