Is there really no treatment option?

I'm in exactly the same position with liver cancer - I'm bewildered - just sent home to die quietly - no contact nurse, and I'm 83. Too confused to talk about it much. Much love, Dip. Arcaeol.

1. Hi so sorry for you and your family, I was diagnosed with HCC  over a year ago and I was sent home to sick to treat, but luckily so far my tumors are not aggressive and are contained within my liver.They score liver disease which includes cancer using the child pugh score, they give a good guide on cancer research UK.It should help you understand a bit more,it help me when my score was C-10 and was told  any treatment would harm rather that help.Always remember sometimes you have to make noise to be noticed.

Thank you for replying and very sorry that you have the same issues. It does make you feel abandoned, at the very least we should have someone we can contact in a crisis. I am going to pester my husband's oncologist and if I get anywhere I will let you know. In the meantime my very best wishes to you and your wife.

I JUST  BROKE  ONE OF MY FINGERS NAILS.   BEST WISHES TO YOUR  DAD

How are you. I’ve just been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in my liver. Terrified and very anxious. Do they know how long you’ve had it. I have no symptoms yet but very frigjtened. Love to you x

they found my HCC on the portal vein in september after a routine scan, they declared it inoperable and chemo resistant. I was offered to take part in a trial, and they got funding for SIRT. on 3 jan im getting my liver mapped through my femoral artery to find which arteries are supplying the tumour and block any arteries that may take the microballs out of my liver|. on 21 jan,im back in to get the radioactive microbeads put into the neccessary arteries to surround the tumour, and hopefully kill it. ive simplified it because im a slow typer and its 5.30 AM. i cant find any HCC support groups, so ive joined a US one, a few people over ther have had SIRT and a few have been cancer free for a couple of years. It is a very expensive treatment and they have to apply for funding, but it cant hurt to ask. I lost my wife to cancer, her funeral was 3 years ago today (23 december). im 63 so 67 is not much different

My Dad (55 years old) was diagnosed with liver cancer at the beginning of November (13 cm, not possible to remove). Since then, he hasn't received any treatment or event plan of the possible treatments. He been sent back home to wait, and we didn't get anyone to contact to ask for an update or advice. It has been nearly 2 months, and he feels worse and worse. Going to an emergency doesn't help much. We feel totally abandoned and hopeless. Is it always like that? The other problem is the language barrier. He doesn't speak much English, there are no translators available. Myself and my family is trying to support and be with him as much as we can, but lack of information from the doctors are so awful. Is there anything what I can do to help to get advice or contact to the doctors? I was expecting to have more support and guidance... 

Hi. Sorry to hear of your diagnosis.  My mum has just been diagnosed with liver/bil duct which spread to the abdomen. We are awaiting a biopsy to see where it began for treatment. I seen online about SIRT. Can I ask how did they discover yours is chemo resistant and got the clinical trial? Hers is inoperable also. Hope you don't mind the questions.
