Liver cancer. Diet and fitness

Hello.

My wife was diagnosed with liver cancer a few days ago. I wonder if anyone can recommend diet books (thinking about the Penny Brohn Bristol diet book?), and books about positive thinking and getting fit.

I ask because there are so many out there, I just want something straightforward.

Thank you.

    Hi Alan - welcome to the forum and I am sorry to see that your wife has had this diagnosis.  Just wanted to say that I have stayed at the Penny Brohn Centre.  They do some residential courses (a few days) at the centre and also one-day workshops on diet etc.  It is a wonderful positive place to go for a few days of quiet (partners too) and all that is asked is a donation towards their costs.  Worth thinking about.

    I have a cancer that has spread to the liver and had 3 surgeries.  Just wonder if your wife has been offered surgery or what treatment she is having.  I hope she is doing well and good luck to you both x

  • Dear max ... I'll think you'll find that you've ready given Alan a comprehensive reply on a previous thread !! Christelle

    I too miss my hair - at the moment its growing back grey, course and curly and I look like a deranged old orangatang.  Have been waiting for a grandchild a few years now but no news at present - I bet you treasure her.

    I can type about 70wpm so I get carried away when I am let loose on a keyboard - sorry!  Probably good for people to read at bedtime as it will help them nod off.  Sleep well sweetie x

  • Yes I think I started posting in an old thread and then got them confused. I don't suppose there's any way of combining them?

  • Hello,

    Just popping on to answer the question you’ve asked about combining two threads, AlanN. Although it is technically possible for us to add these posts onto the end of the other thread you began, I think it will end up making the conversation a bit confusing for other readers.
     
    I’d recommend keeping the two threads as is, and I have included a link to the other conversation here for reference.
     

    We also have some very good information on diet on our website which you can read here. If you want to find out more about exercise for cancer patients, I would also recommend you read this page here. Our nurses are also available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm to answer any question you may have on diet and fitness. Their number is free and you can reach them on 0808 800 4040.

    I hope this helps!

    Best wishes,
