My dad was recently diagnosed with colon cancer with mestatic liver cancer. Is hopefully going in next week to have tumour removed from colon. Just wondering will he get any relief from symptoms once the tumour is removed and will chemo help with the liver.
Really hard times at the moment the not knowing is the worst.

Hi thanks a lot his surgery is this thursday to remove the tumour.
Dear Jilly
I am very sorry to read about your Dad’s diagnosis. I hope he has had his surgery by now and that with time he will feel the benefit of it. Chemotherapy for liver secondaries is beneficial but of course going through all of this is very hard for you and your Dad. If you would like to speak to a cancer nurse to discuss his symptoms and side effects of treatment and how you both are coping do phone our support line at 1800 200 700.
Kind regards
Cancer Nurse
