Dad Secondary Liver Cancer

Hello 

 

My Dad recently diagnosed with cancer of the osteoporosis with secondary Liver Cancer.

Only been offered one bout of radiotherapy to try n seal the original cancer to stop any bleeding.

They say he is not active / fit enough for Chemo

He has no symptoms of being unwell I am scared and frightened, often tearful when alone. 

Been offered a time frame but didn't ask as Mum, Dad and family didn't want to know. He is on cannabis oil, do we ask for a second opinion on chemo? 

 

 

  • Hi SouthWest,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm very sorry to read about your Dad - I can only imagine how tough this is for you all.

    In terms of your question, a second opinion could be an option, however you may wish to discuss this with our nurses as they may be better placed to advise. If so, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    In the meantime I hope you find this forum to be of some help for you.

    Wishing you all the best,
