Hello, I’m new on here, my husband was diagnosed with stage four cancer in February, had two operations to remove the bowel cancer, the first one being keyhole was not successful so he then had further surgery after an infection set in resulting in him having a stoma, he spent 6 weeks in hospital but after having an MRI scan he has five Mets on his liver and also been told he has cirrhosis and surgery on the liver is not possible, the oncologist said on his notes he denies having had large quantities of alcohol or knows nothing about any liver disease he might have had and he truly doesn’t and has never drank much in his whole life, he’s not sure if he’s suitable for chemotherapy and has told him he now has to consider palliative care, I’m just finding this so hard, he just seems to have no empathy or hope for my husband, he feels well at the moment and is enjoying his food, he’s just started driving again and everyone says how well he looks, but I just fear that hearing what this oncologist said he will now give up and go downhill quickly, all we wanted was hope that he can live a little longer and enjoy a few things, I’ve heard that you can live a few years on chemotherapy and palliative care but the way the oncologist is talking he doesn’t have long left at all, any advice would be greatly appreciated
