Hi I am new here, my husband was diagnosed with primary liver cancer last week which has spread to both lungs and lymph nodes, it has been a real shock to us all.  The prognosis was 4 to 8 months and he is not suitable for chemo.  In the last week he has lost so much more weight and is a little confused and really snappy, has anyone else experienced this? I have no idea how to deal with all this.

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm really sorry to read about your husband's recent diagnosis and I can understand what a shock this will have been for you both. 

    I can't help with the loss of weight and confusion but have you reported this to his cancer nurse specialist (CNS), sometimes referred to as a keyworker or Macmillan nurse? They should be able to advise you if no one from this group comes forward with similar symptoms.

    It would be great if you could pop something about your husband's diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select '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.
