Hi

Welcome to the forum . I am so sorry to read about your husband . I don’t know just how far spread your husbands disease is but a spread to the liver does not always mean there are no treatment options . Many people are treated with chemotherapy and do so for years . Others respond to the chemotherapy and it opens up other treatment options like surgery or Radio Frequency Ablation . There are many different chemotherapy combinations to treat a spread to the liver . It is a difficult situation for sure but not without hope .

If you click on my user name you can read my mum’s story . It has been over ten years since she was diagnosed with a spread to her liver .

You are at the very difficult stage of diagnosis when all the information is just being pieced together . Hopefully they will put a plan together soon and that can help a lot as you feel something is being done . 

For me it was a case of not imagining worst case outcomes but concentrating on each day and the possible benefits of treatment . Keeping your mind where your body is .

You can ask anything you like and we also have a support line where the staff are happy to talk through all aspects from emotional , welfare , treatment etc . We are here to support you both as you navigate these difficult days .

take care ,

Hi Jenny - I'm so so sorry - I'm also supporting my husband through what may be similar although it sounds as though you may have more info to get? The first bit is terrible - such a shock - I felt sick all the time. However it has got easier. I threw myself into finding out as much as I could which isn't for everyone but I found it helpful. I also did alot of reading up on things which really can make a difference - the book Anti-cancer-a new way of life - is really good, not just for physical strategies but talking about the emotional aspect of it too.

Let us know how you get on - you will get lots of support on here
