hi all, my Mum has recently received a stage 4 AC diagnosis with liver mets. Her biopsy is this week but since the colonoscopy she hasn’t got out of bed and is literally wasting away. 

she’s on oramorph once, maybe twice a day but has gotten so weak. We’re giving her both the laxative drink and protein drink from the GP and trying to keep her strength up with regular meals and snacks. She recently lost the ability to move her arm, and spends most of her time in bed on her right side.

will there be the possibility of the hospital keeping her in post-biopsy?

  • Hi  

    Welcome to the forum. Im sorry about your mums diagnosis it sounds like she is going through a rough time. I wasn't kept in after my biopsy, it was just a half hour appointment a local and then home. Having said that all situations are different, i would contact the hospital before hand to find out or speak to her GP. Sorry not to be much help. Sending hugs. Xx
