Hi Amyjanegirl. 

Welcome to the forum although I'm sorry to hear about the news that has brought you here. 

Until your partner has had all his tests and results it would probably be wise to not make any drastic changes to his diet unless you have been advised otherwise by his team. Sometimes diet can interfere with treatments and medications. I'm sure that once the Dr's have a full picture of things and have discussed treatment options with you that they'll be able to offer advice on diet or refer you to a dietician for support. 

If you'd like to have a chat with our team of nurses ahead of his MRI and next appointment then please do give them a call. They are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.

Best wishes,

Hi

Well where do I start?!  As I said we had the CT scan etc and thank god that has come back as clear that the cancer has not gone anywhere else for now...however...my partner was take into hospital on Monday with a lot of pain which is gallstones!  Following on from this the consultant has now come back and said that due to the location of the tumour on the liver they won't be able to operate as it is too risky due to the gallbladder.  They have said that they will now start tace treatment and put him on the transplant list....we have still not met with the consultant, just a specialist nurse who seems to tell half a story.  Does this mean he can't be cured?  Where does it leave us?

Hi

We have an appointment booked with the consultant on Wednesday and we are getting a list of qustions to ask.  What we can't get out heads round is why they are so worried about the gallbladder as surly it would be better to take that out at the same time as doing the ablation?  They are saying now though that they can't as it is too risky for the gallbladder but at the moment we don't give a flying toss about the gallbladder and saving that...we just want the tumour out...is that unreasonable to request that they do that.  It would be less risky than leaving it to possibly get bigger while we wait for a transplate and then there are the risks of the actual transplant operation.  We have also since discovered that there is such a thing a live transplant and his family and also myself are also more than happy to go down this route...would that be possible?  We live in Cornwall but originally from Scotland so it is very difficult as all family and friends are in Scotland...we feel so alone.
