Suggest Ways To Rule Out Liver Cancer

Posted on Mon, 28 Aug 2017

Question: A friend was diagnosed via liver biopsy that she has neuro endocrine liver cancer, but they were unable to determine where else in the body it may have started. She has many signs of Parkinson's disease. Does PD affect the liver? The liver biopsy samples were sent to Mayo from what I understand . The small tumors were throughout her liver. Does liver cancer symptoms mimic PD symptoms? Blank stare, shuffling walk, loss of balance,very small handwriting, weak voice, etc.She has had one round of chemo and is currently in hospital because she fell again at home during the night.
