[QUOTE="John Brooks, post: 2762243, member: 94104"] Thank you for your replies. I agree it is the Pancreas that provides the insulin but on further research it shows that I was incorrect about that, Liver cancer can elevate sugar levels in the Liver. My story does not make good reading. Apparently a 'subtle' carcinoma was found on one of my CT Scans in 2024, possibly up to a year ago but is was not reported by the Radiographer and it was not picked up by my Hepatology Consultant. I was eventually informed on 18 Mar 2025 that I have Liver cancer and because it has grown and escaped from my liver there is no treatment they can use to either reduce the size or give me extra time. My prognosis is 6 months, which I have used 7 weeks of. I have had several CT and MRI Scans since that scan that showed up the cancer so I cannot understand why it was not picked up earlier because every scan I had MUST have shown the carcinoma growing to the size it was when I was told about it on March 18th. As far as help from the Hepatology department is concerned | have heard absolutely NOTHING, although Macmillan's have been a Godsend. Prior to my being diagnosed with cancer I was told that I was suffering from Psoriasis which may have been responsible for either giving me the cancer or contributing to it due to my being prescribed Metformin. The dosage I had to take was high, 850mg twice a day It was suggested that I go on to Insulin but at first I would not but with hindsight if I had started taking Insulin much earlier and stopped the Metformin it may have stopped me getting the cancer. Needless to say I have a great many questions I wish answered and I have put forward a complaint to PALS and Healthwatch has taken up my case. I have also requested a 2nd opinion. Everything is now in the lap of the Gods. There is a plus, goodness how long I have had this cancer but thank the Lord so far because I have no effects of the cancer so far. As it stands my wife and I have booked to to go to the Isle of Wight on 19 May 25 and I intend to have a wonderful time. My niece has also invited me to her home for Christmas and I have accepted. I am intending to be around for my Christmas Dinner [/QUOTE]
