Harry, liver cancer participant
Chemotherapy/TACTIC clinical trialOn 29 August 2012, I was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, in other words, liver cancer, at the age of 41. I was told by the doctors that I had roughly six to 12 months to live and that I should get my affairs in order.I was like ‘What are you talking about? I’m a non-drinker’. When I was first diagnosed, I was someone who wouldn’t even take a pain killer. The cancer in my liver was initially 10cm x 12cm – the size of a grapefruit. I was in absolute agony. I couldn’t eat. I went from 108kg down to 80kg in about three weeks.
