How do you know?

Hi. At the start of the summers hols my husband had a belly ache and thought he had an infection. At the end of the summer holidays he’s on pain patches, has jaundice and has liver cancer (previously had bladder cancer but we don’t know if secondary or not - biopsies on Wednesday if he is well enough) how do you know when you’re really really unwell?  He has gone downhill so fast and I’m scared that I won’t know. He’s still eating and getting up but is very tired but I think that’s a pain patch side effect too. Are there stages I should look out for? 

  • I'm very sorry about your husband's diagnosis Lizzy, this must be a very difficult time for you both.

    We have some information on what changes to eating and drinking to look out for as well as what happens as the time draws near on our website but hopefully some of our members who have been through this with their loved ones will share their advice and experiences with you soon as well.

    Kind regards,
