terminal liver cancer

Hi,

Family member just diagnose with liver cancer, has 5 tumors, one of which is 8 cm.  The cancer is in both lobes of liver.  He has ascities, easy bruising, itching and some confusion.  The Dr told him there is no treatment for him except Nexavar to prolong his life.  He gave him the prognosis of 2 to 12 months (said this was average).  We don't know what to expect.  I wonder if he is having symptoms already if it will not be more like 2 to 6 months?  He also has clot in liver and cirrhosis.  Thanks for any advice.

Hey bud. Im telling you, You need to get him this Tea called Essiac. Read up on it. I get mine from essiac herbal. Its all but proven to do away with cancer and balance the body. I'v been trying to tell people about it but they never respond. It tastes awful but its worth it when you have your life to lose. Please read up on it and get him drinking it as soon as possible. Your spose to have 9 OZ a day, If he can take it you can drink all 9 OZ at one time (It tastes really bitter though) or you can drink it in 3 sets of 3 oz. Also theres some stuff called vitalzyme (if i spelled it right) and that stuff got rid of tumors my mom had. Though hers were not cancerous. Dr.Wong is the guys name that recommended it to her. Just tell him about this stuff and dont lose hope. Essiac really shrinks tumors into nothing and clenses the body so please look into it.

Hi.

I am truly sorry to hear about the affliction of your family member. I understand how all of you must be feeling right now.

The prognosis given by the physician is only based on average duration of cases with this cancer. However, there is no certainty on how long it would really be. Prognosis would really depend on how severe the condition is. It would be best if you just be ready for whenever it happens and to try to make your family member's life as comfortable and memorable as possible.
