Hi Flegtak, 

I just wanted to let you know that our cancer nurses are still on their Christmas break but they are back tomorrow and will reply to your post as soon as they can. If you would like to talk things through with them, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040 between 9a.m - 5p.m when their helpline re-opens.

Wishing you and your husband all the best for Friday.

Kind regards,

Thank you

sorry to hear about your husband flegtak.  I was diagnosed with a 2cm tumour in January 2020, had two procedures a TACE and an ablation. it did manage to kill the cancer off. But then comes the complications, because my liver is badly damaged with cirrhosis,  Ayear on I had gone to a midlands hospital that specialises in transplants. so went for assessment. only afterwards to be told I would not be offered a liver because I was classed as being high risk. which I totally understand. if there is someone who is more needy then they have that insentive to carry on.

So by all means take what offer they give your husband, especailly if it gives him a few more years. 

unfortunately for me, I have been told my liver is going to get worse were it will end up in liver failure.yes was told I have a certain time left. I'm petrified and often cry myself to sleep.

I cared for the wife at home when she got diagnosed in late may with aggressive cancer and died 6 weeks after she was diagnosed. part of me hopes there is something after life, so I will be with her again. I'm in the process of arranging my own funeral. as I want to take that burden away from my two kids who are 22 and 30 years of age.  I won't get to see  the next Christmas.
