My husband has had multiple myeloma for over 2 yrs. now and he has gotten much worse but he has been able to go place's and at least tolerate his condition until in May of this year, he woke up and started vomitting blood. We immediately to the local Dr. and he put him in hosp. and did surgery thinking he had a tear in his throat. Well, he had to be rushed to bigger hosp. and had 9 units of blood, was in intensitive care, had 6 rubber bands on his esophagus and we were told he has cirrohsis of the liver and it is very bad. He has not had any cancer treatment since March and he has had his stomach drained 2 times now. He is so very weak and looks so bad but when I ask the doctor's about any prognosis, they will not say anything!!! Is cirrohsis of the liver cancer? They won't do anything for the cancer anymore. That is spreading I know. Are they just letting him die? Is he dying now? I really think he is and they just aren't telling me. Will someone tell me if you know please? I have to plan things!
Thank you if you can help me.
God Bless, Pat
Hi Pat
My dad had cirrossis and a tumour mass on the liver and the doctors wouldnt tell us either.My father was sick for 10 weeks and then he passed away suddenly.Depending on how bad the cirrossis is sometimes they can keep it at bay but if its bad its basically the liver shutting down.
i wish you and your husband all the very best. I am hurting so much for the loss a beautiful man my father and i despise the way the doctors communicate with people these days!
