Liver cancer diagnosis today - how do I prepare for my appointment next week?

Ive just been told the 10cm lesion on my liver is cancer. In shock. No symptoms at all. Got an appointment at the hospital on Tuesday. Any help/advice would be very much appreciated.

  • The good news is that you've been diagnosed before you have symptoms so it will be treatable. Had liver cancer discovered by accident in a CT for kidney stones and surgery was all I needed and it kept it away for nearly 4 years.  it has recurred but is kept in check with immunotherapy.  you will still worry but there are many worse outcomes.  Please let us know when you are in a better place  it will be soon  John  

  • Thank you for your kind words- much appreciated.  

  • These are not kind words as you face difficult times and your family should not make it harder - so tell them so.  when i was first diagnosed i fell apart and a stonemason who was fixing my dad's memorial plaque responded when i explained my problem.  he had incurable neck cancer but a brave surgeon had fixed him  if you listen to radio 4 thank you saturday morning live you will hear my story
