Secondary liver cancer

Morning everyone. My lovely dad has stage 4 secondary liver cancer .He is just after finishing 6 months of chemotherapy (not to cure the cancer,palliative chemotherapy)and its really after taking its toll on him...hes after loosing a lot of weight and a lot of his energy. He walked everything nut unfortunately cant anymore.I am going with him at the middle of September for results of his scan.Is this as good as it gets after palliative chemotherapy? Will some of  the weight and energy levels come back does any one know?

  • Hello Amrc,

    I'm sorry to hear about your dad and can understand the side effects are worrying. The best thing to do is to speak to you dad's doctor about your concerns, as they will be the best person to advice you. It might help to write down your questions on a notepad and take them with you to the appointment. You will be able to take notes if needed as well. We have a team of cancer nurses available on the freephone 0808 800 4040, if you wish to speak to someone ahead of the appointment. Lines are open from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

    I hope this will help,
