Julia, I'm so sorry for your loss, I can understand fully what you went through, my dad passed away 17 weeks ago, he too was also not really there from about 24 hours before his passing, the events of them hours still trouble me, I wish you well, may you find solace and comfort in your treasured mom...

Julia, I know what your going through as the liver starts to fail, I remember seeing my dad on a Monday early April his eyes mildly jaundiced when I seen him again 5 days later his entire body was extensively jaundiced, he hated that colour but was accepting of his fate. In a nutshell we knew the ou...

Wiping away the tears reading this, the memories of telling my 5 year old son that his grandfather (my father), was ill, wasn't going to get better still haunt me (only 13 weeks ago), kids have a great understanding, my son knew his granddad was ill, his illuminious yellow jaundice was a give away, ...

So sorry to hear of your loss, I too wanted to do so much with my father but it wasn't to be, cancer is so cruel.

So sorry to hear of another passing

I'm so sorry to read about your loss, words at this time are difficult to describe the emotions one goes through following the passing of a loved one, I have no words other than you are in my thoughts and prayers, I hope you find comfort in the cherished memories, I know this has helped me at times.

I'm deeply devestated at letting you'll all know of my fathers passing yesterday (Sunday), peacefully becomining an angel surrounded by his loving family, in time I will write more, but for now I wish you all well, I will go and grieve our tremendous loss.

Hi all Thanks for comments of support, difficult but enjoyable time at the minute, making more memories to cherish, never have regrets, some difficult conversations re plans had but glad they happened, as vicki says in the blink of an eye it all can change, so cherish and treasure every moment, for ...

Thanks all for thoughts, well wishes, no viable treatment options given LFT's, his ggt have hit over 2k, severely jaundiced, liver under severe pressure, we've been given weeks given the detioriation in just a week, so sad to see.

After a long discussion with family, team, treatment not indicated due to severe liver issues coupled with quality of life, accept all and treasure the times that are left.

Had oncology review, attempting one last trial of chemo to try and slow down the deterioration, not really sure if it will work, given the number of liver mets (extensive) no drugs that are metabolised in the liver can be administered, very jaundiced, time not on his side, quite an open and honest c...
