Colon cancer spread to liver

MY MOM CAME IN TO THE HOSPITAL A WEEK AGO BECAUSE SHE WAS FILLING NAUSEATED.  THEY DID A COLONOSCOPY ON WEDNESDAY AND FOUND THAT HER COLON CANCER HAD CAME BACK.  THEY THOUGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE SPREAD TO THE LIVER SO THEY BIOPISIED IT.  IT JUST CAME BACK TODAY THAT IT IS CANCEROUS.  MY QUESTION IS SHE IS NOW IN A COMMA BECAUSE SHE WENT INTO CARDIAC ARREST AFTER SHE LEFT THE RECOVERY ROOM.  IS THERE ANY ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO TREAT THE CANCER ON HER LIVER SINCE THEY WILL NOT DO SURGERY ON SOMEONE THAT IS IN A COMMA??  ALSO DO YOU THINK THAT HER SYMPTOMS WERE FOR THE FINAL STAGES OF LIVER CANCER???

I also had colon cancer and it matastized into the liver.  I had the tumor surgically removed and they got it all.  I am now on a chemotherapy regimine of CPT11 that is supposed to be fore this kind of thing.

Good Bless you

I thought that you could remove part the of the liver and it would regenerate itself?  Couldn't that be done in cases of cancer?

I feel sorry for you.
Once colon cancer spreads to the liver, it is usually incurable. Your mom cant tolerate surgery as she is already in coma. Chemotherapy also would not be a good choice, if her coma doesnt reverse. Discuss hospice with your family and doctors.
