Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Every cancer is different and the spread of cancer after treatment depends of man factors including the organ involved, tumor size and grade at the time of detection and the response to treatment.
In case of ovary cancer, it can spread to peritonuem, abdominal lymphnodes and liver in many atoents. However the time for spread might differ in each patient and this does not bear a linear relationship toeither the tumor or the treatment. This is the reason all patients are sugested close surveilance to check for any cancer recurrence or spread in earliest stage.
As there is sign of cancer spread to liver, it is important to re stage the cancer and provide aggressive treatment. This wil help control the liver spread and stabilize the condition. Please do not worry.
