Suggest Management Of Liver Cancer With Pain And Vomiting, Diabetes, High BP
HI Mr.Gupta...my dad has recently been diagonsed with liver cancer but no one is doing nothing every doctor is just passing on to another doctor and now he has been like a yo-yo and its causing and increasing stress as 24 hours we are watching him in severe pain also for the last 24 hours he has been continuously vommiting not even able to tolerate a sip of water..no one is giving him nothing like even a pain killer and i dont know what to do as been reffered to so many doctors and every one says send us the biopsy results and now when i have got that its showing nothing means they were not able to examine any things.my dad is 70 years old he has got diabetes and high blood pressure and both are not well controlled as he has just started taken diabetes tablets recently.
Please take your father to the doctor with whom he regularly follows up and with their recommendation please get him admitted to treat his general condition. As he has been in pain and is unable to even drink water and this means that there is dehydration it is important to start intravenous fluids and give anti vomiting medication. His blood electrolytes are also important and it might take a day or two to stabilize his condition.
Once he is stable, you can get a consultation from an oncologist and then depending on the present condition, treatment can be started with chemotherapy. Usually liver cancers are not operated up on unless it is in early stage. There are also other techniques like TACE which might be use to reduce the tumor volume. Pain relief is important and you might discuss the pain relief measures in detail with his doctor. Please try and know why his condition deteriorated and give him adequate fluids and nutrition when he recovers from the initial vomiting and dehydration. Please do not worry.
