What to expect with liver cancer too far gone to operate.

They have done one round of chemo but our family member is having a lot of abdominal pain and very fatigued .

Another round of chemo soon , we are scared to leave our family member on their own at any time

Hi,

We are sorry to hear your family member is so ill.

It may be a good idea to speak with the GP and see how they can help, they may be able to organise practical assistance with caring for your family member.

Additionally, the GP can also help with regards to pain management and liaise with the specialists.

Here is the British Liver Trust link to the publication 'Liver Cancer' which may also be of some use to read;

We hope that is helpful. If you would like to talk then our helpline is open 10-3pm Monday to Friday on 0800 652 7330

Warm wishes,

Rebecca
