Liver Cancer

#Anxiety I have been a victim of verbal,mental abuse for years from family members,boyfriends that some how my brain has accepted it.They say they are sorry and maneuver their way back into your life.I have shook in fear,got in my car with no destination.I guess it's to run from it.

I am trying very hard to get my ducks in a row to leave.This time itd a bit difficult as he was recently diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer.He has started his chemo and it seems the rage has escalated to a point where he yelled (on the front lawn)to get the f..
out...I need alot of support and guidance hence have few friends now as they have given up as I still have not left.My family is estranged unless they need money.

I have faith God will keep me focused and strong but...

At the very beginning of this year, we lost our next door neighbor suddenly. It was a shock because he was so present and always busy doing something in his yard and was friendly and welcoming. I was sick for Mother's Day so I was bedridden but received a text message from my Aunt Siri--not knowing she was in the hospital--she died two days later. September 5th I lost my 70 YO father. As his only child, all preparations and decisions were up to me with zero instructions on what to do. The day before my father's funeral, my son's best friend comitted suicide. This 21 YO young man has been apart of our family for over 10 years and now he's gone. Then I had a good friend that passed away from a rare cancer and now my neighbor across the street is dying of liver cancer--the same cancer that killed my mother January 2nd of 2009. I just want this year to be over with so very badly. I feel like the hits just keep on coming and I'm looking for solace--mostly drinking wine and going to work. I've behaved badly. My 3 children (all grown now) still live at home and some days we are at each other's throats. It's been too much and my husband has zero idea how to be of service. Sigh....

My sister is dying from cancer. It has progressed to the point the the hospital sent her home with hospice to die comfortably in her home. I'm anger and sad and scared. How do I do this life without my big sister? 💔 who will listen when I am down and make no sense? Who will advise me and tell me its going to be okay? She is too young to die she is only 59.Her older years have been stolen from her. I'm unbelievably broken hearted! I don't want her to go yet I had to give her my permission 😫 and tell her not to worry about me. She told me so calmly over the phone that she wasn't going to get any better and wouldn't be talking to my again. What choice did I have but to tell her it was okay. #Cancer #Depression #Loss #LiverCancer TerminalCancer

Hi all,

I need some help today. My husband and I both struggle with anxiety and depression, and recently, my father in law’s alcholism has taken a turn for the worse. He isn’t working right now, and we found out that he’s just been drinking all day alone at home. He calls my husband drunk and lies about his drinking. He was put into two programs within a month, and left after 3 days. He does not want to get help and has admitted that to my husband.

I think the hardest part is that he called everyone in the family lying about having liver cancer. We legitimately thought he was going to need serious treatment, but then we discovered he lied about the whole thing.

I know that recovery is a long, lifetime process, and we are trying my best to support my father in law. However, does anyone have advice for supporting my husband? My husband is wrecked with the idea that his father is unwilling to get help and lied about having cancer. What do you say or do to help? #Alcoholism #Advice #Depression

I was in good physical and mental health until 2005. My liver failed, my ammonia levels were high I was hallucinating and the outcome didn’t look goodI had to move from the state I lived back to my moms to get on the liver transplant list. I was so devastated. At that same time in 2005 my oldest brother was diagnosed with liver cancer and died within two months. The end of of 2005 my middle brother died of a heroin overdose. I lived and felt so guilty. My parents trudged forward in their 70s I was listed for a liver transplant in early 2006 at UPMC San Francisco. Over the course 3 years…I got better I jumped through every hoop there was, I was compliant. I have never been the same. Fast forward 10 yrs, I had been on Abilify and then lithium in addition. My PCP felt he couldn’t treat me as I need to be treated. I started seeing a Psychiatrist. After 2 years of trying to find a good dosage I had a psychotic break. I was terrified, I had no idea where I was who my husband dad or sons were. I got lost driving, fell regularly and my husband had no ideA what to do…it lasted a month and a half. My poor husband finally called my psychiatrist out of desperation. I have so little memory of that time except delusions hallucinations and confusion. I became incontinent, developed an essential tic in my right hand, lost a lot of memory and it took a piece of my soul by the time it was over. That was 2 years ago. Since that time I’ve had a host of health problems most have gone unfounded, I just feel like I’m crazy. It’s either in my head, it’s my anxiety. I don’t say anything to anybody anymore about how I feel, even if there’s something wrong I don’t disclose. I feel like I’m labeled a hypochondriac, I feel humiliated. My symptoms are not made up but I can’t convince anybody. I’m not crazy I know the difference between right and wrong, sick and healthy. I’m at a point now where after 3 years I feel so much worse than I started out.. I have a very miserable life. I have a PCP, a Psychiatrist , a psychoanalyst, a neurologist and a GI doctor. I feel like a fool and can’t see any hope.
