Liver cancer?

Hi 

my mum has just been referred urgently for suspected cancer. She has weight loss, black stools, back pain and seems exhausted spending a lot of time sleeping. So far she hasn't seen a consultant, she was just referred for a CT, bloods and endoscopy. I thought she would see consultant after this but now she's been asked to go for an MRI and ultrasound. Can't help but think this is because they have found something? Can I ask what other people's diagnostics and outcome were? I think they suspect liver if pancreatic cancer? 

  • Hi Cookied,

    I'm sorry to read this about your mum - this must be a worrying time for all of you.

    Sometimes the doctors will do a variety of tests to get all the required information or perhaps to look for something in particular.

    It is best to try not to assume anything until you know more. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before you find out more.

    Whatever happens, do use this forum for as much support as you want or need.

    Wishing you all the best,
