Hello all. I was diagnosed with liver cancer, HCC , yesterday. I also have cirrhosis (foolish me). I gave up alcohol over a year ago and my bloods have been improving since but now this. Rather numb at the moment. I hope that you are OK. Michelle

Hello Michelle
I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. I'm sure that it's come as a blow to you particularly as you were making lifestyle changes and things seemed to be improving.
It's not unusual to feel numb and overwhelmed by things immediately after diagnosis. Hopefully once the team has given you some more information about your diagnosis and possible treatment options you'll feel less at sea with the whole thing.
We do have some information on our website about liver cancer but I'd also suggest giving our team of nurses a call. I'm sure they would be happy to talk things through with you and offer some advice and support. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
Best wishes,
