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;

Warm wishes,

Rebecca
