Hi to everyone
My husband has liver cancer and had his right half of his liver removed last year. He has just been told this week that the cancer has returned in his remaining liver and also in his portal vein. He has been offered Lenvatinib medication. I was wondering if anyone has experience of this drug and any advice on supporting him through this. I find it difficult as he is in denial about his cancer.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am so sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your husbands cancer returning.
A cancer diagnosis indeed brings a lot of confusion, stress and many questions but I found talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helped me along the way.
I see you have found our Liver cancer group, posting in this group will connect you with people walking the treatment journey.
You can then introduce yourself and post questions selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on the device you're using) and join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'.
You may also find our Carers only and Family and friends groups a benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey.
It’s always good to talk, our Macmillan support line is open every day from 8am to 8pm and it's free to call. Clicking here will give you more information on what the Support Line offers. Alternatively, if it's easier for you then you can email them or use the online chat.
Our Online Information and Support Section is a good place to find information covering cancer diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.
All the very best.
