My husband has liver cancer (HCC) caused by Haemochromotosis, he was on immunotherpy for 2 years and has been off treatmernt for 18 months.  He has had problems with pressure in his left hand side of his abdomen for 5 months and the gp we saw plus the oncologist registrar we saw in November did nothing about it saying the cancer has probably spread but he was too sick for treatment. 3 weeks ago we got told the cancer has spread to Lymph nodes in his abdomen and he has finally been give Sorafenib, he's not started taking it yet as he is truggling to eat or even drink water.  He doesn't want to go into hospital and really doesn't want to go into a hospice. I only want whats best for him, it breaking my heart seeing him fade away.  

I've been trying to get him to take small sips of water, which he's managing but he says it tastes metallic and juice tastes horrible. He's hardly eaten all weekend and this morning I gave him a food supplement drink but he brought it all back up.  I'm thinking he's too sick to start the treatment but he wants to try.

I would appreciate any advice, I'm really struggling and keep falling to pieces
