Stage 4 liver cancer

My uncle got diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer 8 wks ago and has had 1 bout of chemotherapy, and now he's getting the drive put in, I was wondering is this the final stages and are we going 2 lose my uncle?  . Or is the drive just for other things like taking sick feeling away pain etc.

  • Welcome to the forum Jamie although I'm sorry to hear about your uncle's diagnosis and for the reason you find yourself posting.

    I have included some general information we have on our website about dying with cancer for you to have a look at but I would recommend giving our cancer nurses a call next week to find out about the final stages for those with liver cancer. Their freephone number is 0808 800 4040 and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m so do give them a call when you can as they will be able to tell you what to expect as well as explain what the driver does.

    Kind regards,
