HCC/Liver ablation.

Since being home from RFA treatment for a liver tumour in Nov, 2016, Mike has been ill with a chest infection. He now has breathlessness from little exertion. Had a chest x-ray and it came back clear, waiting to have a spirometer test now. The symptoms Mike had before the ablation treatment are still there, he has pain in right shoulder, pain on right side, and swollen abdomen. Was told swollen abdomen not ascites but gas, but it never goes away. In a couple of weeks time off to Leeds again for a CT scan, to check all the tumour has gone.

Sorry to hear about all the bad news and that Mike is still doing so poorly. I hope he will find out what is going on soon.

Thank you. We hope so too.

Hopefully the x-ray will have confirmed no mets in the lungs. I remember prior to my HCC diagnosis i was back and forth to the GP with a persistent cough, we tried asthma meds etc nothing worked. It went after surgery so in the end i assumed it had been a 'cancer cough'.

We're hoping the breathlessness calms down itself, see what the spirometer says and take it from there. Sometimes feels you try to sort one problem and then another comes along to replace it.
