Hello bigjv
A warm welcome to the Macmillan online cancer Community. I am so sorry to find you here. I would say at the outset if you are looking for cancer information, try and use trusted sources such as Macmillan or Cancer Research UK - many items on Dr Google are old, incorrect or just wrong!!
The online Community is divided up into chat rooms or forums which are cancer specific and to start off I would advise you to join the Liver Cancer forum - and here's the link-
Just click on the link I have been provided and once the page opens up - click on "join" on the black banner at the bottom of the page. You can then either copy and paste or repost your original post in the "New Here - Say Hello" section, where it will be seen by Community members on the same or similar journey.
To talk to someone face to face do you have either a Macmillan centre or a "Maggie's" near you (Maggie's is a cancer support charity) - here are the links to find your local centre-

You can also call our support line on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week) to speak to someone for help and support.
I do hope the above helps - If i can do anything else for you please let me know.
Best wishes - Brian
