Hi Katie, so sorry for your result. You don't say where it is and whether you've been offered any treatment.. 

Billy 

P.s hopefully others will be in touch. 

Hi there

Oh no I am so sorry .. I hate the T word I wish doctors wouldn't use it. Sometimes it makes certain people panic and get more ill. It has with my mum I'm unsure if she is 'T', but her doctors have been very blunt with her about her bowel  cancer and have frightened her to heck. besides some people are given 6 months and live for over 2 years. Please have hope. Thinking of you. Take care x

Thanks so much for your message. I had a chat with a lovely nurse last night who said the same. She told me to stop worrying about end details and focus on the fact that I feel well and keep going. The painkillers and steroids have made me feel a lot better. Biopsy this morning so bracing for more info. Thanks for thinking of me x

I have secondary liver cancer, but no idea where the primary is, so I have a biopsy today to try and find out. Therefore no treatment offered yet. This has all happened in 24 hours, from pain and going to a and e through to being in hospital on palliative care ward! I'm only 44, this feels totally surreal and made much worse with lack of contact with family due to lock down.

I am so sorry you are in this situation. The lockdown has made everything so much more unbearable when dealing with things and unable to be with those we love and who love us. I cannot begin to imagine how you feel and you are so young too for a diagnosis like that.

I hope that they are quickly able to find the primary and arrange some form of treatment to make you more comfortable.

Please keep us up to date with how you are getting on. Many of us will be thinking of you today

Hi Katie

Sorry to here this terrible news. I was on this website trying to find out some info for my father who is terminally ill and I stumbled across this chat. I'm not sure if this will help you or make you feel any better but he was diagnosed with terminal cancer just over 4 years ago and was only given 6-9 months. He's still here and he's doing remarkably well although very frail now. We put it down to his positive mental attitude and his determination to carry on. He's been so strong and I wish you luck and hope you stay strong too.x 

Hi again Katie i was diagnosed Feb 2016 prostate Cancer gone to lymph nodes, spine, ribs, pelvis and a lung been on palliative care since, still going strong I'm the official carer for my darling wife she has Alzheimers and parkinsons plus other brain problems. Can't move without help. 

Just be positive and keep fighting. Good luck and best wishes for the future.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me Billy. You are doing an amazing job, do look after yourself too. It must be very hard for you to provide such a lot of care as well. Your braveness has really helped me. I'm still waiting for my full results, as my biopsy was today. It's all happened very quickly but I'm slowly starting to process it. Just focussing on enjoying a cup of tea, and I'll start with that. Sending you lots of love, Katie x

Thanks for taking the time to message me, that has made me see I still have to have hope , regardless of what I'm told. That really is a difference in timescale that seems dizzying. Well done to your fantastic dad. Thank you so much x

Thanks Andrea, it really helps to know there are people out there I can talk to. I have had a liver biopsy today. Now I am going home and waiting for the results which may be up to two weeks. I cant help but hope for a way out of this. I'm nervous about seeing my family as I want to be strong for them but I know realistically we are all going to have to be honest about our feelings. Being isolated in hospital has meant I havent had to really deal with their responses too much yet, so I'm pleased to go home but feeling a scared too. The good thing is I feel much better with the meds they have given me, so I'm eating as much as I can to try and get my strength up. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Thank you so much again for your support x
