Overwhelmed by Partner's Diagnosis

Hi @

Hi LucyKin27 ,

So sorry to hear of your husbands diagnosis, you have come to the right place for support and advice. 

I am 3 years in now, I also had spread to the liver, in fact, it was pretty pickled and had a very poor prognosis. However, a good response to chemo got me to a liver op and I've since had two bowel/pelvis ops.  

The wait for results and a plan is horrible, just try to get through it one day at a time and you will feel much better once a plan is in place.  

Whatever you do, don't google, the stats on there are so out of date and they clump together such a wide range of patients.

The best advice I was given which I still adhere to now is to exercise, anything will do, even a brisk walk.  

You can have a look at my journey if you click on my name, I hope it gives you some hope.

Hi Michelle. Thanks so much for reaching out and I'm pleased you've had success with your treatment. I'll be sure to have a read through your journey. Thanks again. Lucy x

My mum is 14 years into a stage 4 diagnosis with a spread to her liver . Not great having to go in and out of treatment but she keeps carving out a good life and grateful she has  navigated through with her fantastic team .

Her liver has been clear since 2010 . Lots can be done for the liver and whilst it’s not always curable it can very well be treatable .

Mum has enjoyed many many good times since diagnosis.

But she has to keep Pressing through .

Send you and your husband our very best wishes . My mum’s grandson was nine when she was first diagnosed. Coming up 24 now . 
Hold on tight and ask anything you like . We are here to support you .

Thank you Court, that's really encouraging. Wishing your Mum all the best xx️
