Hi All
Sorry for long post but have so many questions
My mother was diagnosed with primary liver cancer 2 weeks ago. The tumor is too big to remove (approx. 8cm long) and been described by the specialist as being the size of a small football. The intended treatment is to cut off the blood supply to the tumor and use chemo crystals into it. The specialist will not give an estimate of how much time it will give although a doctor in the hospital did say up to 3 years as opposed to 8 months if they did nothing. She is in pain now. She does not tolerate pain killers well and the oramorph she has been given makes her unwell and sometimes vomits the following day. Tramadol is going to be tried next. I fear that as she has pain now it is only going to get worse and will be 3 years of pain and not much of "quality" of life. This tumor has grown within 6 months since her last scan so thinking it very aggressive and maybe the reason specialist won't give an estimate of time. Really looking for any information on what to expect.
thanks
