Maybe ask how the cancer diagnosis will be confirmed, so you can know if it is Liver Cancer or BC that has spread to the liver, as the treatment protocols would be different. Then if you are still not at ease, consider a second opinion. Wishing you all the best as you navigate this new challenge. Tight hugs!

When a spot appears on the liver, oncologists typically perform several tests to confirm whether it is cancerous before changing a treatment plan. These tests may include:

- MRI scans
- CT scans
- Ultrasounds
- Positron emission tomography (PET) scans
- Biopsy: Collecting and examining liver tissue under a microscope.

These tests help doctors accurately diagnose liver metastasis and determine the appropriate treatment. If you have concerns about your treatment plan, it's important to discuss them with your oncologist.
