Liver Cancer!

My Dad was diagnosed with a Liver Tumor. Turns out it is malignant, stage 4 (advanced). They told us there is no cure only treatments. He will have a chemo-embolization treatment tomorrow morning.

Another thing is that his stomach became bloated, also his scrotum became enlarged. It is very difficult for him to move around, even to repositon himself in bed. A urologist saw him yesterday. They will be giving him a cystectomy today at noon.


He is 82 years old. Just last month he was full of life!

Re: Liver Cancer!

Joe,

My uncle got the same pair of diagnoses on a Friday and he was admitted that day and was dead by Sunday. He was 33 but drank like no man ever before or since.

Re: Liver Cancer!

My dad passed away on the 24th, he was admitted on the 1st.

What sort of tests can determine cirrohis? Can it be diagnosed from a simple blood test?
