What are the symptoms of stage four liver cancer?
Patient: I am having some problems with my taste and smell ,I don t have any. I s been two weeks since my last chemo treatment, I have had four treatments up until now. I have stage four liver cancer and I am taking promethazine for nausae,andgabapentin for nurothopy. Should I be concerned? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing in.Stage 4 cancer of liver is advanced disease. It might cause mild symptoms in some patients and others might have severe symptoms.Usually the condition might have a large mass or multiple masses in the liver causing a hard to palpate mass in the abdomen. The mass causes compression of vascular structure including the inferior vena cava and this might lead to blood clots in the vein goind to the heart. The veins of the kidneys might also show clots.Few people develop ascites and fluid collection in the abdomen and this is due to the inability of the liver to function normally. The side effects of chemotherapy medicines also have an influence and this might cause neuropathy and nausea with dizziness and pain. Please discuss pain relief with your doctor. Please do not worry.
