Lump on liver - very worried

Hello everyone 

My husband Mike is in his 70s and over past year has lost a lot of weight and has stomachproblems. He was put on 2WW pathway and had CT scan a week ago. He also had a stroke last week.

Hospital rang today and told him he has a lump on his liver and needs an MRI scan to check it out.

We are completely overwhelmed and worried sick that he has liver cancer.

  • Hello Cher55

    I'm sorry to hear about your husband's ongoing health problems and that the recent CT scan has raised some concerns. It's understandable that you're feeling worried particularly as on top of this he has recently had a stroke. It's obviously a very difficult time for you all. 

    Hopefully, he won't have to wait too long for the MRI and the results will give you some firmer answers and information about what is going on. in the meantime I'd suggest giving our team of nruses a call. I'm sure they will be happy to talk things through with you and offer any advice and support that they can to help you through this difficult period of waiting and uncertainty. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do let us know how you're getting on when you feel able to. 

    Best wishes,
