Metastatic liver cancer

Comment from Gina Hage at “Sad secondary liver cancer news, please give your support!” , with answer from Metastatic Liver Cancer.

I am just trying to research this liver cancer thing

My x husband has it and has refused treatment we have 3 kids together and he is just biding his time. I am wondering what are the stages? He believes in God and wants to just go home to be with the Lord were there is know more pain and suffering. We are believing for a miracle for his life. I know God is able HE HAS ALREADY OUTLIVED THE DOCTORS ORDERS please respond.

Dear Gina,

Recommended Readings about cancer and cancer stages:

• Colon cancer stages
• colon cancer staging
• liver cancer survival rate

The above summarized say that the smaller the cancer and the more it can be localized on 1 place, the better the chances of recovery.

When it comes to terminal cancer like with my father, first thing as usual is ask your doctors.

Father wanted to fight the cancer, but there were no "weapons" left… So from that moment on the stages were: angry but more or less ok, to painful, to very painful, to very sick until he passed away peacefully.

The stages for mom were: being a caretaker "no matter what". Just to find out that she had a torn ligament due to carrying father in and out the bed. Then comes the stage of grief…

People want to live and be surrounded with their loved ones. At the moment father saw that mother was surrounded with all her loved ones, he changed this painful life to a pain-free life.

Whoever read this: feel free to give your feedback! Sooner or later you will read something that can set your mind more at ease than it is now…

Comment from Kristen at Liver cancer is a killer, with answer from Metastatic Liver Cancer.

The doctor gave him 2 days to 2 weeks to live. He died on Feb. 16th, 2007.

The cancer had spread and was inoperable.

Nothing prepared my family for the shock of his death and we are still trying to deal with it.

The ironic thing is my father was scheduled for a colonoscopy the day after we took him to the ER.

The stuff he was supposed to drink for the colonoscopy made him ill, which is why we went to the ER where we found out why.

People say it gets easier, but for my family, it hasn’t yet.

Dear Kristen,

Accept our condolences and a big hug.

Like you say: it just doesn’t get any easier emotionally. Physically we don’t have to take care of father, but emotionally, each and every day I think of him. I try to work it of so my mind is occupied with other things. Which works fine until you go to sleep…

Father felt dizzy sometimes, and after 1001 doctor and hospital visit they took a picture of his liver which was filled with tiny tumors, worse than a raisin bread. He didn’t pass away 2 days later after his diagnosis, yet it is a very weird idea knowing that your days are numbered and you have really nothing in hand to fight it off.

I agree: we are not prepared for this at all. We do take life for granted, as we take our earth for granted as well.

One brother of father said: "we all have cancer in us, just with some of us it comes out sooner than later". Although this isn’t really so, his theory at least takes into concern that he can get cancer any day in his life. With all the amounts of cancers around us, it’s practically true what he says. (be informed: we are not doctors here, we are trying to carry on with our lives…)

The doctor that did the operation on my other dad (tumor in the colon) said: the only thing that beats cancer is your own body: so make sure you are as healthy as possible.

Live healthy, eat healthy, go easy on red meat and eat more tomatoes, more avocado, even more fresh fruit… all fine, but what about the air we breath in and the water we drink? And the pesticide residues in the vegetables we buy from the local grocery? How to live healthy is we can’t see the pesticide residue, the unhealthy particles in the air, unlike we can see the beginning of a cancer?

The questions are more than the answers… All we can agree on is that life will end sooner or later…

Whoever read this: feel free to give your feedback! Sooner or later you will read something that can set your mind more at ease than it is now…

Pammy wrote a month ago about her sister being diagnosed with an aggressive secondary liver cancer at Sad secondary liver cancer news, please give your support!

She then left a message which I will quote below asking "is anybody reading this?"…

Please if you are reading this: leave a comment!

If you have no clue what to say, just write "yes I am reading this"

Pammy’s quote

Yes there must be a God apparently he made my beautiful little sister and her little boy’s now he’s gonna take her back so i’m no big fan right now!

Does anyone actually read this?

I feel as though i’m on my own so useless , helpless , worthless I know i’m not the only 1 to go through this I’m struggling emotionally any pointers ,

Dear Pammy

In difficult moments like these, you still quote that you know that others are going through this as well… Meaning that you are a caring person, and that’s the worth you need to empower.

Also don’t "downsize" your story by comparing to others…

The feelings of useless, helpless, worthless are very recognizable, add to that "anger". We had a lot of "anger" that could burst out for no reason towards somebody that apparently didn’t do anything wrong.

You need to do what you feel is right, embrace life and know that life will end sooner or later with everybody. It’s just that we are so focused on "later"…

In the case of father, I "just asked him" what he wanted me to do now that I was there having traveled from far.

"Nothing" he said….

It is then up to you to have a look around and see what more you can do than "nothing", because all extra you can do is a bonus!

During those days: I invented the "that’s a good plan" sentence… Be it a "short term good plan" like buying a desert father , be it a "long term good plan" like organizing palliative care takers…

In the case of your sister: the "short term good plans’ are the daily things she enjoys in life, the "long term good plan" would be an assurance that her 2 boys will be taken care for.

Pammy: please keep in touch and try to find more people that had cancer or have a loved one with cancer: they have a much more realistic approach towards all what’s happening than the people without the experience.

Like father’s doctor said: it’s in the end quite easy for me to tell you your father has cancer, because I live here between my 4 white walls and I go home in the evening. You guys have the difficult task of making decisions and doing things you most likely never ever spend enough thinking about, let alone have a solution for…

Please give pammy a hug and leave a comment!
