Your mother has colon cancer that has spread to liver. The only option now is to undergo chemotherapy +/- targeted therapy. If a particular mutation test called K RAS mutation is wild type then only she will benefit from addition of targeted therapy with chemotherapy. The goal of chemotherapy is to convert unresectable liver spread to respectable status called conversion therapy. Your mother can receive 2 to 4 months of chemotherapy Neo adjuvant meaning before operation followed by post-operative chemotherapy for a goal of approx 6 months if there is no evidence of residual disease. Past data have demonstrated approximately 25% of patients witChatDoctorpletely resected hepatic metastases secondary to colon cancer experience long term survival of 50%. For pain, she can take Tab Attract thrice daily after food. It contains acetaminophen and tramadol. Regards and take care
