This study is being done to learn more about health related quality of life factors in people
having surgery for colorectal liver metastasis. The investigators will look at how these
factors may change over time. The information gained from this study will help the
investigators to understand the long-term effects that cancer treatments have on the health
related quality of life of patients. This information is of high value and will help doctors
talk to patients about the possible effects of their operations. While many patients live a
long time after such operations, the studies that have been done do not tell the full story
of what patients go through after surgery. This study will help us to understand cancer
treatment from the patient's perspective. It will also help cancer patients make better
decisions about their treatment options and will help them know what to expect after the
operation.
