Metastatic liver cancer

Be prepared that whatever you read in the books doesn’t have to apply to yourself or the person you are taking care of. Although father had metastatic liver cancer he actually died of old age in his sleep with a smile on his face (meaning he was not in pain). Father didn’t have jaundice and the water in his body never accumulated higher than his knees. This is considered "clean", although from my point of view, metastatic liver cancer still is a very ugly disease.

Pancreatic cancer end stage symptoms

We are no gossip blog so we wont reveal the details about Pavarotti Pancreatic Cancer. So we can only talk in general now.

If the cancer has spread too much to the surrounding organs and tissues, it would not be possible to completely remove the cancerous tumors by surgery. In which case, the primary goal of the physician or heath care personnel would be to provide treatments to make the patient more comfortable. This will include:

1. Surgical bypass to ease some of the symptoms of jaundice and itching.
2. Stent insertion in the bile duct to keep it open. This is normally done for patients who have metastatic cancer or who are very weak.
3. Insulin therapy to help control the blood
4. Pain management as the pain is a real concern in the later stages of the disease. Treatment with morphine or similar medications will provide relief in many cases.

Itching is said to be the last stage in metastatic liver cancer as well, so father never reached that stage, he never had jaundice either. Just normal tears in his eyes…
