Hi my name is Shingle & my husband collapsed on Easter Monday & he was diagnosis of HCC on 12 April, we are both devasted & trying to get our heads around it all .He is 65, & fit & very active up until his collapse.
my partner is 60 and six weeks ago was diagnosed with primary hcc he has had 2 lots of scans and a biopsy it is inoperable as is present in the blood vessels still contained in the liver the oncologist has recommended sirt treatment also my partner is fit and well and his liver is functioning normal I understand this is such a anxious time for you both we spent days in tears trying to get our heads round it to. We are waiting for an appointment to come through I hope by now you have a path for treatment.
Thank you for your message, I am sorry to hear about your partner also & hope the sirt treatment will start soon. My partner is awaiting another scan & then will plan way ahead, but tumour is inoperable so treatment will probably be targeted chemotherapy or anticancer tablet therapy. He did have a lot of fluid around his tummy but with a water tablet is managing to keep this under control. Like you both have spent the days in tears & trying to get our heads around it all as my partner was such a fit & active man, its such a shock how weak he can feel now, not sure if its the cancer or the shock of it all. Take care.
