My husband age 53 was diagnosed this past August with stage 4 mets to liver. His calcium levels are always high,leads to dehydration and then the hospital. He is in there now and we are not really getting any answers on how to make this better so that this man can come home and feel somewhat ok. Has anyone ever experienced this. His bone scans were negative and his stomach scan was negative, his liver is enlarged but they are pretty sure it is from the mets. They seem to know what is wrong but cannot make it right. he is not on any chemo now because he is not strong enough to receive. Would appreciate any comments. Thank You Janet

Hi I am new to this site and not sure if I am posting in the right spot. My name is Janet and my husband George age 53 was diagnosed with stage 4 with mets to liver on August 15, 2007. He had six cycles of taxol carbo and avastin, the last one on Jan 18. He just came home from the hospital, the avastin did damage to his kidneys. He was dehydrated and could not eat for about two weeks. We waited too long for the trip to the emergency room. H e came home yesterday and well we still have a long road ahead of us. I found this site because of some changes in the other site and it seems that all my friends do not chat anymore.
