My mother was diagonised with ovarian cancer 4 months ago,she has her surgery TAH+BSO and omentum removed.She was said to have Stage 1C.She has completed her 6 cycles of chemotherapy TAXOL+Carboplatin and is due for CT Scan. But after her 3rd Chemo,a CT scan was done which said a 11mm hypodense focus in her liver.Initially the surgeon said there was nothing in abdomen or liver.Now how come this focus appear in liver after her third chemo and what this could be?
A hypodense lesion in liver can represent a solitary liver metastasis and should be investigated further. If it persists on post sixth chemotherapyCT scan, i would suggest a PET-CT scan. Please discuss it with your treating oncologist.
