Hi my husband has 6 tumours in his liver and recently had a stay in hospital to have TACE treatment. He was meant to have the 6 tumours treated but he could only have 3 treated. He will have a scan in a month to see if there has been any improvement, if not he's been told there is nothing more they can do for him. He also has non hodgkin's lymphoma and long term type 2 diabetes.  We are both terrified of what the future holds and what to expect. The Oncologist said the average life expectancy is 9 -12 months but because he has the other conditions it could be less. Sorry for the long post but we just don't know what we are going to be facing. Thank you for reading.
