I lost my partner of of over thirty years only last night (not cancer related). However I have been diagnosed with liver cancer and ha trace treatment on Thursday. My issue is does anyone know if having a couple of beers to help numb the pain will affect that treatment. I know its early, but a large chunk of my soul has been taken, and I don't know what to do. Tried calling the specialise team at the local hospital, but loved for bank holiday. Any advice however seemingly trivial is good.
Thanks
So sorry for your loss & what you are currently going through yourself at the moment.
have you tried calling any of the numbers on here as think they have 24/7 support or do you have a macmillan nurse already assigned? They may have a. Out if yours number for you to contact.
sorry I can’t answer your question. My late husband certainly had the odd drink but he wasn’t able to have any treatment. Not that that’s any help, sorry
take care x
