Shock liver cancer news

Yesterday has been the worst day.of my life so far.My dad who is 74 has been told he has liver cancer that is terminal.He had bowel cancer last year and was able to have an operation to remove it and he has being doing great since..thats why it's such a shock to receive news like this.We have been told that he probably wont be able to receive any treatment because he has problems with his heart but the hospital will go through this in our next appointment in about 2 weeks.They told us its about him having quality of life no quantity of life.I just feel broken-hearted 

  • Oh I am so sorry you have received this news. My heart really breaks for you and your family. Life can be so unfair, and cancer is a cruel unforgiving disease. Your poor dad - how is he coping? I am in a similar position myself. My grandad had prostate cancer two years ago, and has been doing great since it was removed. His PSA levels have been undetectable and he's been doing amazing! Just before Christmas he went to the doctors as he had a lump in his neck.. well it turned out to be stage 4 lung cancer, which a prognosis of 3-6 month. My world has been turned upside down. It's a completely new cancer and not related to the prostate at all. We are all in shock as it was so unexpected. 
    I hope you and your dad can spend as much time together as possible and I am sending love your way. Take care x

  • Thank you so much for your reply. Life can be so hard and cruel sometimes cant it!How is your poor grandad dealing with everything?My beautiful aunt who was only 52 lost her battle with this horrible disease in August after she put up such a courageous fight with it.Cancer I hate it...I really do.Its so sad to hear so many people it affects on this site.Look after yourself,your grandad and the rest of your family and if you ever need to talk or rant about anything of it you know where to find me xxx

  • I'm so sorry for your news. I am going through something similar. My husband was battling bowel cancer last year. Had surgery and we thought was doing well. We reahave just received the news the cancer has spread to his lungs & liver and there is nothing they can do. He's just turned 43. I don't know what to do or say. It's absolutely hideous. I feel for you too. 

  • Oh my heart goes out to you.Your husband is so young ..its just so unfair.I cant even Imagine how you all feel.Since I got the news last week I constantly have a sickening feeling inside of me.I am going to his oncology appointment with him on Tuesday but its unlikely hell be offered anything because his heart is not great...he had a huge operation on that about 6 years ago.Even when he got the operation last year for his bowl cancer it was decided not to give chemotherapy because of the side effects.If you ever need to get anything off of your chest Im here to listen .Please try to stay strong and you and your husband are in my prayersxx

  • Thank you so much. It would be great to have someone to have a bit of contact with, even if it is online, who is going through something similar. It's extremely isolating. Wishing you & your father all the very best for Tuesday.
