Potential liver cancer

Hi, I had an appt with a liver consultant 2 weeks ago, from a previous fibro scan he suggested it could have been indicitative of cirrhosis. He referred me for blood tests, and he called me last Tuesday to show it was indicative of liver cancer. I had an MRI last Thursday 

My mindset is telling me if it wasn’t cancer by now, I would have found out by now, so are they using this time now to set up treatment plans etc. 

does anyone have experience in this situation? 

  • Hello Hg81

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some health problems recently which have needed investigations and now you're facing the possibility of a cancer diagnosis. It's understandable that you may have questions and concerns. 

    It's good to hear that the additional scan required has already been completed and it's probably now a case of waiting for the specialists to meet to discuss all your results and information before they can make a formal diagnosis and decide on the best treatment plan. We know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be difficult. It can help to talk with someone about how you're feeling. If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Hopefully you will have some news soon. Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
