Stage 4 Lung and Liver Cancer

Hi,

My 82 year old Grandad has just been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung cancer which has also spread to his liver.

I guess I'm just wondering what to expect. He already has little to no appetite and finds it hard to swallow some foods.

Please reply with any similar experiences, I hate the not knowing!

Thanks!

  • Hello PicklePie

    I'm sorry to hear about your Grandad's diagnosis. It's obviously a very difficult time for you all at the moment. 

    We have some information on our website here about advanced lung cancer which you may find helpful in answering some of your questions. Alternatively, if you'd like to have a chat with one of our team of nurses please do give them a call. I'm sure they will be happy to give you some information and support. They're available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope this helps. 

    Best wishes,
