Hello, I have just recently been diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer. I'm really struggling, I'm supposed to talk to an oncologist soon for treatment options. I don't want my kids to grow up without their mom. It's hard to not feel defeated.

I am recently diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic with metastatic to my liver. I feel the same. It is my biggest fear. I feel a positive attitude, prayer, support, and diet will go a long way. Hope you are ok and good luck with your treatment . It is not an easy road and everyday is a new day. You will get thru.

@Kimmikatt HCC, not sure if it's stage 2 or 4 yet. They need to biopsy nodes in my lungs to see if it's METS

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
