I have read so many posts on here over the last couple of months, and they have been so helpful so I thought I would share what is happening with my Dad.

Only a couple of months ago we found that Dad had an inflammation somewhere in his body (only found through blood tests) and wa couple of weeks later we were told he had a cyst above his left kidney which had cancer in it. He had it removed and four days later was realesed from hospital and everything was amazing. I had my old Dad back. At this time we were told there were small spots of cancer on the left side of the liver and on his left lung but we were not to worry about them and that in time he would be given treatment to stop them growing/ spreading.

For the last week or so Dad has been really under the weather, sleeping all the time and with pain in his abdomen. He went to the Doctors on Monday and they were positive it was an infection so put him on antibiotics. He has been taking them and not feeling any better so he went back to the Doctors today and they admitted him to hospital. After tests and the such he was told the cancer on the liver has spread rapidly. (not to the lung but much more over the liver). They have said they are going to put him on sutin (I think that is what is called) but that it may not work. They have not said it is terminal, but reading about secondary liver cancer it is not the most positive story.

I am just so confused and frustrated and angry. Since him coming home and telling me I have locked myself in my room and have cried continuously. He was lovely and tried to come and hug me but that made me cry even more and I had to walk away from hi (which I hate but right now I just cannot cope with it all). We are all meant to be going to New York in November and I was meant to be starting a new job and moving away but all I want to do is stay in bed and cry. I want to be positive, but I have been positive throughout all of it so far and it has just gotten worse and worse. I feel completey deflated, I am not sure what is happening and I reeally do not know how to get on with day to day life. We have had quite alot of losses in the family so I know what is going to be happening then but it is just the waiting and it is my Dad and I want him to be around till he is an old man with Grandchildren. 

Sorry this is a ridculously long post (I have seen some long posts on here too but I feel this is kind of taking the biscuit). Just wanting to hear from anyone who has dealings with secondary liver and how they coped and what treatment they had. Also if anyone has been on sutin and how they have found it.
