Liver cancer inoperable - absolutely devastated

II have in the last few days been told I have liver cancer that would not be able to be operated on to remove  due to the close proximity to major veins. I’m waiting for an appointment to the hospital to see if anything can be done. I’m absolutely devastated and emotional that I’m not going to to be able to have any treatment…. 

  • Hello Jilan 1603 and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your situation and I can understand that waiting to get more information can be very unsettling.

    There may be other treatment options that your team may think will be safer.

    I am not sure what you have been told already but do go prepared with lots of questions for your doctors when you see them in hospital.

    It is difficult without being involved in your care to say very much but you are very welcome to ring and chat through any of this with one of the helpline nurses.

    If you would like to ring the helpline the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
