Liver and poss throat cancer

Hello everyone

My lovely partner has recently been diagnosed with Liver cancer and serosis of the liver.

He has also had a hoarse voice for about a year and has been told he has something concerning on his right vocal cord .

He has just had a biopsy CT scan and MRI scan on his throat .I am beside myself with worry !!!

With regard to the Liver cancer we have been to Addenbrookes for intensive tests re the possibility of a transplant . This can only be considered if there is no cancer anywhere else .

Any reassuring words or advice would be good.

 

  • Hi there ... it's so hard hearing we have these diagnosis, it's a long road and no easy way out ... the waiting for appointments/ treatment/ results are really hard as your minds full of 'what ifs' but nearly all of us on here are on the same journey... so your not alone ... 

    is there anything specific you wanted advice on?  The nurses on here can answer medical questions that your worried about ... or phone their help line or McMillan free phone help line if you would like to talk to someone ... 

    the only thing I can say is write down all the things you want to ask when you go to hospital or drs ... try to take one day at a time .. and we all seem to have lots of feelings of anger / feeling helpless / tears and they are all normal ... hope you have someone close you can talk to ... and talking together about feelings can help ... we all feel scared sometimes to .. so reach out and take all the help anyone offers .. thinking of you ... hope it halos a little ... big hug X

     

  • Hi Chris

    My partner has had the results of his throat biopsy and unfortunately it is 2nd stage cancer . He has since had surgery and we are waiting for the results of that . his treatment for his Liver cancer is on hold until his throat is sorted .

    Worrying times . Hope all ok with you ]

    Love and best wishes Angie x
