Hi all. My mum has advanced alzheimers and has had a diagnosis of liver cancer. Between myself and a team of drs we have agreed that mum wouldn't cope with any treatment that would be involved.
I'm really not sure what to expect?

Welcome to the forum Jen.
I'm sorry to hear your mum has been diagnosed with liver cancer and that you've come to the difficult decision with the doctors that your mum would not be able to manage with treatment. I can't begin to imagine how diffcult that must have been but remind yourself that the decision was made with your mum's best interests at heart.
Were the doctors able to give you some insight in to what to expect next? If not you can always chat to our cancer nurses about this. They're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040 (freephone from the UK), Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. I hope this helps and that you get to hear from other members soon. You can also look for previous discussions that may be similar to yours by using the 'search forum' option above.
Post as much as you need to Jen and remember that we are always here if you need us.
Kind Regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
