Primary Liver Cancer.

Just a quick little update.
I go in the morning to see the consultant surgeon to find out if it has spread or not as he will have my results from the MRI scan & CT scan, and i believe he's called one of those multi-disciplinary-meetings.

Fingers crossed and everything else.

Appointment at 9-35am July 13th.

Kelly.

Hi Kelly, praying for you and sending my love. Write down your questions so you have them for tomorrow. Its hard to remember everything. The Macmillan nurses are great - and may be attached to the hospital. Worth asking about them as they can have time to talk to you, and you can contact them anytime. Cancer backup phoneline is great too for any questions and concerns you may have - trained nurses and can chat or get you loads of info. All my Love xxx

Hugs Kelly, been thinking of you & hope & pray you got on ok.

As mentioned here the Macmillan nurses are great. They helped look after my sister after she went into stage 4 cancer.

Thank You everyone.

I'm afraid I'm left feeling abit numb and lost again.

I saw the consultant surgeon today and he explained things very nicely to me, was a very pleasant man with a lovely manner and very calming.

He told me that it looks like it has'nt spread but as the tumor was in the middle of the liver covering sections 4, 5, 8 ( as the liver is in 8 sections ) he would need to do a laparoscopy so he could do a biopsy on the healthy part of the liver to check that it was healthy enough to cope with such a big operation as he was going to have to take away 2 /3rds of my liver which is a lot as it takes the liver 4-6 weeks to regenerate back to normal size but not the same shape.
It needs to be really healthy the bit that will be left, so I will be going in for this in the next 2 weeks and hopefully if this is well I will have the big operation in the next 2 weeks after that.
I have been appointed a specialist nurse that I can contact at anytime through all of this which will be very helpful as I'm sure when its all sunk in again I will have a list of questions for her.

Thank You for letting me share this with you all as I feel abit rubbish at the mo about it all.
Will keep you updated.

Love to you all Kelly.

Hi Kelly,
Have you had a look at this web site, James Whale had kidney cancer "size of a football" and they have a support page as well, hope it might be of some help. Even give James a ring on Talksport 10 till 1am monday/thursday "his bark is worse than his bit;) ,as he has been through cancer as well, and still going strong. Keep well and stay postive, all the best.
