I guess the best thing you can do is keep in touch with him and give him as much support as you can from where you are. Send him a card and keep in contact. have faith in the doctors. hopefully all will work out for the best.
To start he has a “secondary” cancer which means he also has it somewhere else and it has spread to his liver. Liver cancer should always be considered fatal. Chemo can be very debilitating and you don’t disorder his age. Most modern chemo treatments though aren’t as terrible as they used to be and most people continue a honestly normal life. He is appearance to the end of his life very soon, I don’t know you will want to connect with him ASAP.
Stay in touch as best you can. I’m sorry to tell you that even with treatment, Liver cancer is nearly universally fatal within 12-18 months of diagnosis. Hopfully this initially chemo will knock back the cancer for awhile and he will have some time feeling OK. When and if this happens, it will be time to see him and be prepared to say goodbye.
Liver cancer is serious but stage two diagnosis is helpful. He will continue to be sick during the treatment as the medicine makes those side effects. Hopefully he will answer fortunately to treatment and the cancer will be ruined. You need to prepare yourself for the most terrible case which is that it will be terminal. Call, write to him and let him know you are with him in spirit and shove your like, this will make him feel better as he fights his disease. Start a diary, write down your memories of him and question your parents to share theirs. Record his age, date of birth where he was born, parents,sibilings, children. Question these questions now while you can get them answered. Excellent luck.
He can try emu oil gel caps. emu oil kills cancer cells. three pills a day should do the trick. Always get your doctors approval before taking anything new.
I am so sorry sweetie about your grandfather. I know quite a lot of liver cancer as my mum passed away 8 months ago because of this. When my mum started her chemo she was the same as your grandfather, feeling very tired and nauseas and not feeling hungry at all. With my mum her chemo was every 3 weeks so for the initially 3-4 days of chemo she was very poorly. Unfortunately liver cancer is ordinarily terminal as it is very rare that a person has it only there, most of the times it is a secondary cancer. This means that there is cancer in another place. With my mum her cancer started in her bowel and then spread to the liver. You have to be prepared for the most terrible and as you are far away at the moment I know this is heartbreaking. Why dont you make a photoalbum of you both at smallest amount you can reckon about the pleased days. It might keep your mind occupied. I do not know how ancient your grandfather is and how long he has had the cancer but my mum was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 58 and passed away when she turned 60. Sweetie if you need to talk do not hesitate to email me and I wish your grandfather and your family all the best for the prospect
