New To This -- Need All The Help I Can Get

my mom has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer - this has obviously blindsided our family as my mother has always been fit and healthy.  Her Doctors seem to be doing the right thing but then again this is new- we did get asecond opinion that confirmed the actions of her doctor but there are still so many questions.   she seems so weak cannot eat due to nausea is on high doses of morphne for the intense pain she looks a walking skeleton she has lost a tremendous amount of weight in a short amont of time If anyone is out there please help !

I am sorry to hear that your mother has liver cancer. I also have Hepatocellular carcinoma in my liver. I am receiving treatment at the mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I don't know where you live, I do know that most local doctora and family physicians don't have a clue. I would suggest that you find one of the few places in the country that specializes in liver cancer and get your mother in as quickly as possible. No matter what you are told, NEVER GIVE UP!

thanks for your words of encourangement - i have been in contact with cancer treatment centers of america and mom is willing to go if no results are produced from first round of chemo i would be interested in knowing more aboutyour particular liver issues and you can contact me directly at

 thanks again
