Pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver

A family member has recently been diagnosed with cancer and this last day or two he is not drinking and his voice is going, it was going last week when in hospital then it began to return however the last 3 days it has gone down hill massively we are trying cough sweets and trying to get him to keep drinking fluids but nothing is helping does anyone have any suggestions or noticed the same?

  • Welcome to the forum Bethany although I'm really sorry to hear your family member is having a lot of trouble with their voice.

    I know this must be worrying but I hope things have started to improve again since you made this post. If they haven't, make sure you get in touch with his medical team or GP as they will be in the best position to advise.

    You're also welcome to discuss this with one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to help.

    Hopefully some of our members who been in a similar situation will offer their suggestions and advice to you soon.

    We're thinking of you Bethany and sending our very best wishes to you both.
