Hi everyone am new to I the forum ! I have been diagnosed with liver cancer stage 4 after 2 previous breast cancer occurrences in the last 3 years. Devastated and still numb !! am still awaiting full liver biopsy results but not looking good I suspect it’s in the bile ducts too after talking to oncologist professor at clatterbridge but await confirmation of this anyone here had similar ? Liver diagnosed 7 weeks ago then first cycle of carboplatin 1 week later then at 3 weekly rounds so had second chemo yesterday ! Hence the insomnia and being awake at 4 am as he said it’s a strong dose. Feeling the usual tired dizzy aching pains but managing 4/5 litres of water to flush out my body over 24 hours otherwise I don’t pee properly and we need to keep hydrated don’t we ! I think it’s the toxins in the chemo with me. I have noticed others with similar diagnosis are on a couple of drugs together ! But I was told due to me having chemo prior to last Christmas I needed to be on one they had not recently used probably due to its ability to work so this is a strong type
it appears the prognosis and time scales don’t look as good as I expected so I intend to grab what I’ve got with both hands now and embrace all the love and kindness am being given which is pretty hard to do as am usually the one giving all my love away being a Mum and Nana and dog mum. Any similar experiences would be a great help
love to everyone
Hi Curlytop 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 sorry to read that you've recently been diagnosed with liver cancer and I can understand how devastated you must feel after having dealt with breast cancer in the past.
I'm not a member of this group, so can't help with any experiences, but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be easier to spot by the other group members.
While you're waiting for replies, would be great if you could put something about your diagnoses and treatments to date 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'.
