Hi, my Mom had colon cancer. The tumor was removed along with 16 inches of her colon. No chemo required. 3 years later metastatic tumors were discovered in her liver. She declined chemo. Her oncologist threw his hands up saying she had 2-3 months to live. I put her on supplements (fucoidan) and she is still doing pretty well. But her doctor has her taking Lipitor to lower cholesterol, that was barely over normal. How come he prescribes Lipitor to someone with liver tumor? She suffers dizziness and balance is compromised. A bunch of other problems. What to do?
Good evening. First of all patients with colon cancer and metastasis to liver can live up to 2.5 years if there is no jaundice. Even if jaundice is there, then bilirubin can be Chat Doctor.  So your doctor is wrong in saying that she has only 2-3 months to live. LIPITOR should be avoided if her liver enzymes(GOT, SGPT) are raised more than 3 times the normal limit. So u check her Liver function TEST and then decide accordingly.
