Patrick just gave us the sad news in a comment on One caregiver is never enough! Patrick’s father has metastatic liver cancer.
Please leave your condolences, prayers and hugs for Patrick in a comment.
When asked about metastatic liver cancer prognosis, it seems that the patient will tell you when his time has come.
Our father passed away in his sleep the night after he told mother he would have done it all over with her and after he had seen all his children that same day being around to help mom.
Patrick’s father passed away after Patrick told his father:
I love you dad and I know you Love me
For those new to metastatic liver cancer: you need to know that there will be lots of moments where the cancer patient isn’t able anymore to verbalise, so that’s why "… and I know you love me…" is as important than saying "I love you dad".
I am sad to see another dad going because of metastatic liver cancer and tears are in my eyes. But I am happy to know that Patrick was there at the moment father wanted him to be there. Some moments in life are priceless, and this is one of them.
Feel free to drop by any time Patrick, just to say hi or to share your experience with others who will go the same road soon.
Our love, hugs and prayers are with you.
Patrick’s father passed away from metastatic liver cancer
Update –
My father passed away the 24th of September at around 3pm
I held his hand until the very end.
They say my father waited for me to arrive before he felt that he could leave me..
It was like its always been – Just me and him and it wasn’t until I said – I love you dad and I know you Love me that he finally took his last breath..
I know he’s in a better place now and he won’t have to suffer anymore..
I love you dad and will always remember you…
Patrick.

All our hugs and prayers to you Lesly, your comment got featured at : Lesly is losing the love of her life to metastatic liver cancer where others can leave their support.
There’s never the right things to say and the right way to say it. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you for you and your father. The big “C” is the one that has affected so many lives and so many families feel the shock and the after affect of losing someone precious (even though something may have prevented the relationship from being expressed in the way we imagine it should be). It is a humbling experience for both the palliative care patient and the care givers to endure this massive task, and our hearts go out to all families and friends, and caregivers, and may the richest of loving blessings go to all of you. Angels are you all !!
Loving hugs of comfort

My heart goes out to you Patirck and your father. I am presently losing the only love of my life to the same disease and I am here with him ever day at age 51. Your story is so inspirational to me and helps me to deal with what the days will bring. Love is a beautiful thing and having had that in my lifetime is very completing to me. Like I found what God has always said is the answer to life. Thanks for writing your story for others to share.
