Hi,
My dad was diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer about 2 years. He initially had chemo and was doing well the cancer just remained the same size. over the past 12 months he had been having regular blood test and appointments with oncology. His cancer marker was going up but dad was feeling fine in himself so he chose not to have CT Scan but to see how it goes.
Since January his been really ill and got a severe infection- pneumonia. From the test that he had and another CT Scan it was discovered that the cancer has spread on his liver and he has small tumours all over the Liver. The doctors have advised us that he probably has weeks or months because his cancer is progressive.
Dad is home now and we have to wait for his oncology appointment in a couple of weeks to find out more. He has lost alot of weight and lost his appetite, he feels full when he has hardly eaten, shoulder pain, nausea and just hiccups all the time. He is extremely anxious and tired all the time. He has no energy at all think it's just a shock to him and us all because it just all happened so quick he was fine about 6 weeks ago.
We all feel worried, anxious can anyone tell me if you or a loved one has gone through this? Is he likely to get his energy back or is this only going to get worse. It's so awful seeing him go through this.
