Metastatic liver cancer

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

Pammy, My heart goes out to you.

I too have a sister who has lung cancer that spread to her lymphnodes and now to her liver.

She may not even make it through the holidays.

Please take this big warm hug from me and may God give you the strength to come through this.

A bug hug to Pammy and a big hug to Gardenofeden.

A big hug to everybody

Thanks Gardenofeden for commenting and adding an extra voice into the support.

All the words cannot say what you must be going through, so we keep silent and give an extra hug.

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…

It did give us comfort in hearing about other cancer stories!

The journey is a very though one, but one can learn that others have walked a similar journey…

Do you tell everything to your partner? Or are you like me: when you have a bad day but your partner shows up all happy, do you join in his happiness? Or do you spoil the mood with the bad things that happened in your day?

You would say: "gosh, it all depends actually"…

That’s why I would be quite interested in "What kind of man would lie to his own wife about having cancer?". The author of this question will be one of the guests of the free reading series organized tomorrow November 28 (free of course!) at :

Did father lie about his cancer?

After father passed away due to metastatic liver cancer, mom recalled and told us of one night about 2 years before father died father had the "something is on my mind" expression. When mom asked him what was wrong, father told her: "I cannot tell you". On which mother asked: "since when can’t you tell me things anymore"…

My old neighbour: did he lie about his cancer?

My old neighbour nor his wife were that close to me to answer that question. I never saw his wife acting any differently than just the last few days when my neighbour was in hospital in his last days of fighting lung cancer.

3 months before my neighbour died of lung cancer, he "suddenly" stopped smoking. Around that time he taught his wife how to use the grass mower "just in case I wouldn’t be around one day"…

Who do you tell you have cancer and who should tell you that you have cancer? The answers look easy, but one day when you are confronted with cancer, there are choices to be made you never thought they could be that difficult…

What had my neighbour and father in common?

Father died of metastatic liver cancer.

My neighbour died of lung cancer.

Both were very cheerful people, making sure they could help out anybody they knew and they couldn’t be bothered to trouble others with their problems. They didn’t seem to have any enemies, loved by everybody and no problem was big enough to stop them.

Although most people already faint when they hear the word cancer, what you really don’t want to hear is a stage 4 cancer.

Stage 4 colon cancer means that the colon cancer has spread to other organs, generally that’s to the liver but it might as well go to the lungs or any other organ.

Most likely father’s metastatic liver cancer with unknown primary would have originated form colon cancer. But because a colonoscopy couldn’t be performed well due to a twist in the colon, we never heard the real answer to this question.

Yet we couldn’t be bothered much whether father would have had colon cancer or lung cancer (as he used to smoke when he was younger) or any other cancer for that matter, as a stage 4 cancer normally has no cure. For sure there is not much hope to go for chemotherapy if you are already 75 years old like in our father’s case. Rest assure: chemotherapy kills whatever it comes across to: both healthy cells as cancer cells. At 25 you can fight these utterly toxic chemicals, at 75 your body doesn’t have that much strength left…
