Hi all,
I'm hoping this group can help me through the most challenging times of our lives.
My 41 year old hubby has just been diagnosed with liver cancer. They confirmed the 3 tumors found on his liver are cancer. The devastation worsened when we were toldvths cancer cant be cured and chemotherapy and ablation treatments would only prolong his life.
His only hope for a cure would be a possible liver transplant.
My husband is finding it very difficult and he doesn't want to talk about his feelings, where I am a talker and find my way of dealing with things is to talk, hence me turning to this group.
Has anyone else been in this position? Has anyone else had a liver transplant?
From a worried, scared and completely lost wife of an amazing husband who is struggling to come to terms with how life will now change forever xx
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to read that your husband has been diagnosed with liver cancer and that his only hope for a cure is a liver transplant.
I noticed that you hadn't had any replies to your post. If you type 'transplant' into the search bar in this group you'll see that there are several previous posts mentioning this. You could have a read of them and reply to any poster who you think might be able to give you further information.
I'm not sure if you're aware but you've had several replies to this same post in the family and friends group. If you haven't seen them clicking here will take you straight there.
Could I also recommend that you join the carers group which is a safe and supportive place to share your worries. To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens.
When you have a minute it would be useful if could pop something about your husband's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
