I am sorry to hear your partner is undergoing some tests for suspected liver cancer, this must be a difficult time for you both.
Unfortunately until a definite diagnosis has been made about what this is and the plan for what needs to happen next it is a matter of just waiting, which is never easy. Try and take things one step at a time for now. Keep yourselves busy and your mind on other things when you can to help pass the time.
What a cancer diagnosis means for one person is different to someone else. This is why it is important that people wait to find out all the facts about their situation before searching for more information.
Try to be there for each other at this time. I am sure you are both experiencing a whirl wind of emotions and it is good to be listened to and heard and to know that there is someone there to support you both. If you think it is appropriate do share this with a close family member or friend and the same for your partner, so you aren't journeying this alone.
As I say once your partner has a clear answer about what is going on the health professionals involved will be able to direct you more clearly to services and resources you may need.
I hope you know more soon. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
