Last stage of Liver Cancer

My mum was diagnosed in April last year with Stage 4 cancer which had started in her bowel and spread to liver by the time we found out. She was offered treatment but had no effect. This then stopped in August and only palliative care now. Her positivity keeps her going. Her stomach is hard and enlarged on one side. She just cannot get comfortable and has a lot of pain, I don't want to see her suffer anymore. My dad 74 who never fell ill, has passed away last week. Now I am worried about her even more since she lives very far. My GP has given me a FIT test yesterday so don't know what is going on at the minute! 

  • Hello N2, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. And I am so sorry to hear your dad passed away last week - our sincere condolences on behalf of the Cancer Chat team. I can imagine this has also affected your mum. It must be hard for you to have to see her suffer I hope that she gets adequate pain relief to deal with the pain.

    You mentioned that your GP has given you a FIT test - we have some information on our website on the test which you can read here. Fingers crossed for you that it is all ok!

    If at any point you would like to talk to one of our nurses about anything, feel free to ring this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
