After MRI and CT scan, I was diagnosed yesterday with tumours on my liver which has spread from another area but not sure where.. Having liver biopsy in a week but Doctor did say incurable and I am terrified.

Thank you. No further detailts but very breathless
Hello Jeanettek,
this will have come as a great shock, so whilst in that state it becomes easy to create all kinds of horrific scenario's. As a recovered liver cancer patient with spread from the bowel l realise how difficult it becomes to keep solid ground beneath your feet.
The things l realised early on following my diagnosis is what l had is exactly that, l cannot change that,the only thing l can affect is the stress l placed upon myself. Of course too much will seriously impact on your body's ability to maintain a sensible equilibrium allowing it the best chance to cope with all the treatments. The sooner you can get to that position the easier it becomes.
Incurable does not mean untreatable, and neither does it come with a sell by date.As your journey progresses you will learn more details and the route your treatments will take.The not knowing is the worst, it is surprising how well you cope once you know what you face. So scream,get the "why me" out of the way quickly and take the best possible calmest you forward going gently one step followed by the next
take care,
David
