Secondary liver Mets

My husband not eaten nearly a week can’t stop being sick non of the anti sickness working. Being assessed for palliative care next Wednesday. Should he be admitted to hospital? He wants to stay home but he’s getting weaker all the time. Married nearly 44 years

  • Hello V.Quick

    I'm so very sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis and that he's been struggling with nausea and vomiting. it sounds like it's been an incredibly difficult time for you both. 

    It's good to hear that the palliative care team are going to assess him on Wednesday. They will be able to talk with you both about the support that they can offer if your husband wants to remain at home as well as what hospice services may be available in your local area. Hopefully, they will be able to offer you some reassurance. 

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses before your appointment you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to offer any advice and support they can. 

    Do keep in touch and let us know how you're both managing. We're here for you. 

    Sending you both my best wishes, 
    Jenn
