HI, I have just yesterday being told I have stage 4 liver cancer  they think its secondary but can't find where the primary is at this moment  one idea is the bowl but as they could not find it think is moved from there I am a mother of 6 children and I am petrified  I went to and throw the doc's for sometimes saying things were not right  they did nothing went to A&E and one doc told me off for wasting time and bed resources go home and take Galveston and paracetamol  and Operpresaile as much as I like  well things did not get better I have bieng in hopsital were they are not a cancer hospital I have asked grate marston (who iI am now under )  why they cant zape or thake the lung out all  or part of it out  say they cant ? a tumour is 6cmm.  In the state( US) they do that. Then they do the cameo and radiotherapy and there are tablets too. I already feel a burden to my friend my family are not a help except one of my sons who I am so worried about I don't want to just lie in bed all day but at the moment I am finding going out very hard  my food in taking is small and I was wondering if there are better drugs with little to no side effects what would help me be more mobile and out of pain. ,the pain I get is a very bad cramping under my right rib and this bends me over and I can walk without getting  breathless  why thing that could help me get the latest best treatment I think I have had to wait long enough already I also have seen on the internet that their Injection that kills 6-to 8 top cancers mine is one of them 

  • Welcome to the forum Brenda.k although I'm sorry to read about your diagnosis and what you've been through leading up to it.

    I know the hospital say they can't take the tumour out but have they explained why? If you're still unsure why this option isn't available to you do make sure you have a chat with your medical team so you can get this clarified. Do also talk to them or your GP about the pain you're suffering at the moment as they should be able to provide you with something that is more suitable to help you manage this. 

    I'm sure you being a burden is the last thing your friends would think so do confide in them and let them know you need their support as I'm sure they would want to do anything they can to help you at this time. Our community is full of supportive and understanding members and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    Our cancer nurses are just a phone call away as well if you'd like to chat to them about your diagnosis. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040 so do give them a call if you feel talking to someone medically trained will help.

    Kind regards,
