1 week ago my partner had an MRI scan which identified a 2.6 cm groth on the liver . Now due to covid 19 all following oppointments and cancelled . so where are people going that have been abandonded by the NHS?

  • Dear Dowell83,

    Do not fear too much yet. That is quite small as tumours go when they are discovered AND if it's a hepatocellular carcinoma then that type of cancer is one of the slowest to metastasise.

    Mine was 4.5 cm wide when found and I am still alive six years later.

    True, I have been through the meat grinder when it comes to treatment, but the early treatments were all spaced out in time over a year before the really hard core work started.

    Hopefully, the worst of this COVID-19 thing will be over in a few months and then the focus can return to your partner.

    In the meantime, to help with both your and your partner's mental health, I suggest taking control of something that is still an option for you. 

    Best wishes,

    Martyn.
