My lovely gentle husband of 61 years has been diagnosed with primary bile duct cancer and secondary in his liver. He started to have abnormal blood tests in July no symptoms, in October he went to a and e with abdominal pain. His bilirubin was off the chart and they didn't seem to understand why he wasn't in more pain. They sent him home and the pain eased, 2 days later his skin and eyes were yellow but that cleared up and he was fine for 4 weeks. He since has had a constant a he in his side and stopped eating dairy as this causedire discomfort. He had mrcp scan in November and then end of November mri scan with dye.mud December specialist said he had 3 shadows on his liver that could be cancer or abscesses he would need a biopsy, but because the Christmas period was coming up it would be January. He had his biopsy in January. After we chased up the appointment he saw specialist on Monday this week, when we went in, he said "how much do you know". We said nothing. He said the tests were positive for cancer in section 6 and 7 of his Liver and an oncology department would be in touch. I don't need to tell anyone how we felt, you have all been there. On Tuesday a nurse rang us to say we see oncologist next Tuesday and that the liver cancer was secondary as the primary is in the bile duct. I swing from crying to hope to anger and can't help thinking if they had tried harder in July when his gamma serum levels on his blood tests were in the thousands instead of below 50 that he would be in this much danger. I sm positive with him about any treatment they offer next week but I know from researching that there isn't much hope. My heart is absolutely broken and I don't want to live without him.
