Has anyone on here had Tace procedure ,which is chemo straight to liver to kill tumours, if so what have your after effects like. My husband has had this treatment a few days ago and has had a fever and chills on and off was wondering if this is normal after chemo.

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your husband.

    A cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of questions and yes, fever and chills can be an issue after treatments and I would always say talk with your husbands team so they know what is going on.

    Also talking with people who are on the same journey can help a lot.

    Can I direct you to this link to our very supportive Liver cancer group as this will open up your concerns to a wider audience who know exactly what you are going through at the moment.

    Just follow the link above, hitting ‘Join the Group’ tab just under the main group name, then go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab and set up your own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group - you could just copy an paste what you have in this first post.

    You may find our various Macmillan Support Line Services to be helpful - call them on 0808 808 00 00 This free service covers Emotional Support, Practical Information. Clinical Information, Financial Support and Work Guidance mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link.

    We also have our ‘Ask an Expert’. section where you can post questions to our mostly Volunteer Experts but please allow 2 working days to get a reply.

    When you feel up to it try putting some information in your profile. This really helps others when answering. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. Just click on YOUR username, select 'Edit Profile'. Put as much or as little in your profile and you can amend it at any time - you can see members profiles by hitting our forum names.

    All the best.
