Hi there

I am just starting this journey. I have just recieved initial diagnosis of primary liver cancer. I am just about coming up to the surface to breathe after the initial shock. How long generally should I have to wait to see see a specialist and be told what treatments and options are available? My GP has said she has 'red flagged ' my referrals. 

I am in Northern Ireland. 

  • Hi Michelle 

    I am sorry to here about your father. I am considering myself very luck. 12 weeks after my cancer was discovered (by lucky mistake)  I underwent surgery where surgeon removed 65% of my liver. 

    The surgeon is confident that all the cancer has been removed and am awaiting the results of tests to confirm this. I have an appointment with surgeon at end of the month so as you can imagine all fingers are crossed. 

    I hope your father  is as lucky as I have been . Drop a line and let me know how things are 

  • Aww brilliant news! I am delighted for you.

    I hope Daddy gets the same result but I will definitely keep you posted!

    good luck for your next appointment
