So there is a difference?
Yes. If what you described is correct, it sounds like it’s cancerous lung tissue growing in his liver.
Honestly though I’m not sure how that will change the treatments, if at all. It might be a question to ask the oncologist.
Unfortunately, cancer is not a single disease. It’s thousands of different diseases that are all unique. That’s one reason that it’s so difficult to treat.
My prayers and best wishes are headed your way, brother.

Invasive adenocarcinoma. Any knowledge of it?

Probably depends on whether he is healthy enough to take chemotherapy.
I would go out of state and try to find the best treatments possible. Maybe there’s a state-of-the-art, revolutionary treatment available somewhere.
The university of Florida is supposedly developing cancer vaccines to attack some cancerous tumors. Maybe you can call them to inquire about it. They’re in clinical trials right now

My wife has liver cancer (bile duct cancer). She had a hepatectomy (removed half her liver, her gall bladder, and ablation on small areas) in 2024. There are several types of chemo that can be used, and how people tolerate it varies wildly. She's had three types of chemo so far, and tolerated them fairly well, but only the last one has had much benefit. She's now going to have a Trans Arterial Radio Embolization (TARE) with a radioisotope , Y-90, injected into the tumor's blood supply.
Your father might be able to have histotripsy, which uses sound waves to destroy tumors in a non-invasive procedure. It's pretty new, UAB, where my wife gets treated, doesn't use it yet. I think the University of South Alabama does it.

They say it came from his lung cancer.
Is it actually liver cancer, or did the lung cancer metastasize on his liver?
I had testicular cancer last year (and had it removed) and then it came back a few months ago in my pelvic lymph nodes. But it was still testicular cancer. I got that removed as well, and if it comes back it would most likely be on my lungs (not in my lungs) and would still be the same thing. Even if it makes its way into my blood or my brain, it is still testicular cancer and still carries with it the upper 90s% survival rate. I follow the logic of it, but it doesn't make much sense to me. But that's apparently how cancer works.
So is your dad's a new type of cancer, or is it the same cancer as before that just metastasized somewhere else?

Apparently came from his lung to liver. Best I can describe. So yes had lower lung lobe removed 2 years ago. Hope you are ok my friend!
Posted on 6/17/26 at 2:13 pm to CocomoLSU
So whatever % rate is on recovery from lung cancer carries over? We seeing Dr tomorrow at 9 after a PS at 7:30
Posted on 6/17/26 at 2:16 pm to CocomoLSU
sorry to hear that CoCo

How are you doing ? How long since you had any issues. I am def putting you in my prayers.
Posted on 6/17/26 at 2:51 pm to Tupelo
Hope wife makes full recovery. Seems like poor lady has gone through hell. Praying for her. Cancer sucks!

That's how it works, at least for mine. If you remember Lance Armstrong, he had testicular cancer in his brain at one point. And he's still doing fine I believe.

My most recent surgery was in February, and I'm good. Just need the negative test results to keep coming for 5 years (but the first year is the most important; once you hit that year mark the chance of recurrence reduces pretty drastically I believe).

I feel you, bro. My wife was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
Godspeed. Hope he recovers.

It all depends on what stage it is and how early they found it.
If it is lung cancer in the liver, it is stage 4 which means the tumor spread from the original site (lungs).

Invasive adenocarcinoma
Same classification as colon cancer.
AI: Adenocarcinoma is a common type of cancer that begins in the glandular cells, which line your organs and secrete fluids like mucus or digestive juices.
