Secondary Liver, Spleen Cancer / Biopsy
9 Oct 2017 01:00
Hi there, this is my forst ever comment on this form as my father who is 59 years of age has been informed that he has suspected secondary liver cancer which has also speard to his Spleen. Was told that the liver is in a bad shape with dark spots all over and enlarged. He has lost soo much weight within 1 month. His eyes are yellowish, skin is pale but some times dark, feet and lower legs are swollen, loss of appetite, abdominal swelling of fluid build up. He has had a liver biopsy on 26 Sep 2017 and we are currentley waiting on results. We have been informed that the liver tissue sample had to be sent to Oxford for what I assume a second opinion. He now has been given an appointment with his consultant on the 30 October 2017 but I managed to get him one sooner which is now on the 18 October 2017. I dont know what to suspect as it has taken just over 3 months of contstants tests etc to get to this stage and if it is as serious as the hospital have said then why would they leave my dad alone in the dark to wait 4 weeks just to discuss the results of his biopsy? Any feedback or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
