  • Hello rambo1212,

    Sorry to hear your dad has recently been diagnosed with liver cancer but as you said it is good that it was found early and he was lucky to have it discovered by accident after a bout of flu.

    We have some information on primary liver cancer here. We hope that this information from our website will be useful to you. It contains a section about what to ask your doctor for example.

    If you have any specific questions, feel free to contact our nurses on freephone 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. They also have an Ask the Nurses section in this forum.

    You will also be able to speak to others here who may have had a similar diagnosis as your dad and they may be able to offer some advice or share their personal story with you.

    Best wishes,

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
