Living with Liver Cancer: Coping and Support Strategies

9. Hypercalcemia

Some liver cancers can cause problems with other organs in the body. They interfere with the production of hormones and can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia is when there are very high levels of calcium in the blood resulting in low blood sugar levels. This rarely happens in people with early cancer symptoms, but more in the later stages of cancer's growth. Hypercalcemia can cause headaches and visual problems, anxiety, physical weakness. It can make you feel fatigued, so much you'll want to sleep regularly and it some cases can even lead to a coma.
