What are the symptoms of a person that is dying from Liver Cancer?

Question

My husband and I just took the responsibility of caring for my sister that was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. My sister is on morphine to control the pain, and the doctor tells us is a matter of weeks. My sister has no clue as to what is going on and is tearing me up inside.

She is 55 years old and was full of life until 9 months ago, I see her wasting away, with lots of pain, the tumor is inoperable. Therefore, I need to know what is going to happen, what changes am I going to see in her? I have been told that they could bleed through the mucus area... eyes, nose etc.

Has anyone gone through this experience?

Thank you

Nina

the syptoms are What are the symptoms of Liver Cancer?

The most common symptoms of liver cancer are from a massive tumor growing in the liver, or even liver failure. A very early cancer will have no symptoms, since it is too small to cause any. As it enlarges, common symptoms include:

1.Pain in the right upper abdominal area caused by stretching of the liver's capsule, which is rich in nerves. The liver may then extend below the right costal margin ("hepatomegaly") and be painful to probe.
2. Weight Loss and loss of appetite; the liver is a digestive organ.
3. Swelling of the abdomen (called "ascites" pronounced a-site-ees) from the liver failing to produce the protein required to hold the blood's fluid in the blood vessels, so it migrates out to fill the abdomen, scrotum and limbs.
4. Cirrhosis signs like breast swelling in males (from the liver failing to break down estrogens) and little spider shaped veins (angiomata) seen on the skin. Another sign of liver failure is very red palms ("palmar erythema").
5. Blood clotting problems leading to intestinal bleeding and bruises on the skin. The liver normally uses vitamin K from the diet and intestinal bacteria sources to synthesize the clotting factor ("prothrombin") necessary for life.
6.Fatigue and eventually coma from buildup of ammonia in the body.
7. Jaundice and light stools, from blockage of the bile draining system. Also looser and smellier stools may be seen, ("steatorrhea") indicating poor breakdown of fats in the digestive tract. Jaundice normally produces itching (pruritis) when it becomes marked. The first area notable for jaundice, caused by the
liver's failure to clear bilirubin, is the whites of the eyes ("scleral icterus").
8. Paraneoplastic syndromes means unusual symptoms caused by chemical alterations in the body either from the liver failing or secretions from the tumor cells themselves. These include elevated blood calcium, low blood sugar, anemias, precocious puberty in children, intense flushing, and other metabolic
disturbances. These syndromes often will be alleviated with cancer shrinkage.
9. Signs of Distant Spread include bone pain, neurological symptoms from brain involvement, and intestinal blockage. These all indicate advanced disease.

Hi, My mum passed away from colon and liver cancer 8 months ago at the age of 60. If she only would have had colon cancer the doctor said she had better chance of surviving but as she had secondaries in the liver this meant that she was terminal. My mum fought the disease for a year and 5 months before dying. She knew from the beginning the truth and she was so positive and strong but eventually she started to deteriorate, the symptoms of her liver cancer getting worse was that she was getting a very swollen abdomen this meant a very enlarged liver, her skin was getting really yellow and so was her eyes, her appetite went completely and her weight dropped dramatically, but with my mum nothing of the bleeding as you have been told happened. This symptoms started to happen exactly 2 weeks before her death. She was given morphine intravenously,this made her more comfortable as she was not swallowing anymore to have morphine liquid or tablets. Eventually my mum slipped into a coma a few days before passing away. I will pray for your sister and for all of you to be at peace. God Bless you all sweetie.

Stages Of Dying From Cancer

Answer 4

I'm sure your sister knows how lucky she is to have you for a sister. Does her insurance pay for hospice? If they do, it is a wonderful service. Every person can be different. My father in law died of prostate ca that went everywhere. He went down hill quickly. He quit eating, and drinking then became bed ridden. Had pain but the morphine helped. You have to make sure that you reposition her every 2-3 hours so she doesn't develop bed sores. Breathing gets shallow and irregular. Eyelids don't close all the way. Yellow skin color. Blue or mottled look to legs, that eventually move up the body. Get hospice or help from a support group. It is really a difficult time for you. But you will be glad that you could do this for your sister. Take care.

I have ot been right there with someone dying from cancer but I have ben right there when my grandpa died from kidney failure. It starts out like you explained, shallow breaths, hey start to look yellow or grayish in color because their blood starts to circuate slower frm lack of motivation. They will eventually start to have bubbles, or saliva fill up their bmouth, this i from the lungs filling up with fluid and prtty much drowing in the fluid, sorry that soudns so harsh, Then when their time is finally up they will take a breath, and be gone. Those are what happens whe someone is dying, t leat that is what happens when My grandpa died,and that is what hospice says happens to almost everyone who is dying. Im not sure if you are a believer in god or not. But if you are ust remember she is going to be going to a much better place where she will no longer have to suffer. Hope I helped! And im very sorry you have to go though this. No one should ever lose a loved one to cancer. good luck and you will get through this i promise! It will take time but you will pull through.
