My 51 year old brother has been diagnosed with terminal Liver Cancer 3 weeks ago. I feel like my world has been shattered and I can hardly breath. I want to support my parents and nieces as well as been there for my brother, however its just so hard to comprehend that nothing can be done for him. I feel angry and feel like I'm grieving already. My brother isn't wanting to talk about 'it'! I feel so helpless.
Hello Deli123
Welcome to the forum, I know that you would prefer not to be here, but it can be a really supportive place to be. I apologise that your first post has taken a while to receive a response..
I am sorry to read that you have been devastated by the news that your brother was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer three weeks ago, I understand some of your feelings of anger, and also of grieving already. This is not unusually, your feelings and emotions are probably where they should be.
Has your brother been offered any treatment at all?
I am unsure whether he has been advised whether his cancer is a primary or secondary cancer, there is a great deal of information available on the forum, and there is dedicated forums for specific cancers, please feel free to drop a line into one of the liver cancer forums as you will receive understanding and support from others who have experience.
I hope that you will be able to talk with your brother when he is ready.
in the meantime, we are here for you if you need to chat.
Take care
