Hi there and thanks for posting

I am so sorry to hear about your dad, this must be a difficult time for you both.

We have some information about liver cancer on our website that may be helpful to read. However it sounds like your dad is still undergoing some more tests so hopefully once the results are in, you will know more about what is going on and needs to happen next.

It is understandable to want to support your dad through his journey and to try and make it as easy as possible for him. We also have a section about supporting someone with cancer, so do take a look at this also.

As I say once the doctors have all the information about your dads cancer they can sit down and discuss what this means and what treatment you dad will need moving forward. At this point there should be an opportunity to ask questions, so if you can attend the appointment with him it might be useful to hear the plan first hand.

Try and take things one step at a time for now and try not to let your thoughts run away with you until you have all the information.

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.

Best wishes to you and your dad

Naomi

Thank you for you response Naomi . My Dad is meeting the oncologist tomorrow he’s not sure what to expect? I’m going with him but only driving him there he doesn’t want me to go in with him which is so hard but I must respect his wishes x

My dad saw the oncologist today there’s tumours in his lungs and secondary cancer in his liver. They not sure where the primary is so they going a biopsy. Chemotherapy has been offered to shrink the tumours not cure him. 

Good evening, sorry for a delayed response. Tragically four weeks exactly following daddy’s diagnosis daddy passed away at home. Daddy’s consultant said he hasn’t seen such an aggressive cancer in over five years. We are devastated as a family. 

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to get back to us

We are very sorry to hear about your daddy dying, this must be a difficult and very sad time for you and I hope you have lots of support around you.

It sounds like your daddy's cancer was aggressive and I am sorry you didn't perhaps have as much time as you would have liked, at the end.

I would encourage you to reach out for bereavement counselling if you feel you need it either now or in the future. You can search up on the cruse website.

If we can be of any more help please do get back in touch.

I wish you all the best

Take care

Naomi
