Liver Cancer (Secondary)
Living with secondary liver cancer
Some people diagnosed with secondary liver cancer can feel well and have periods of time without symptoms. But the uncertainty of living with cancer that cannot be cured can leave you feeling emotionally up and down. At times, you may feel overcome by fear, anxiety, sadness or anger.
Your doctor, nurses, a social worker or counsellor can help you and your family find ways to cope with how you are feeling.
