Liver cancer + Cirrocis + Hep C

My mom was recently diagnosed with HCC, had surgery in February 2013. Her two thirds of the liver have been removed. The biopsy showed M3T1N0. Now she found out she has multiple tumors up to 3 cm in the left over part of her liver. Her AFP is 1470. My mom also has Hep C (1a) and cirrocis
Any suggestons, comments...
Thanks

I was also diagnosed with HCC last june 2011 due to hepatitis B..I undergone chemoembolisation but wasn't successful..The tumor of my liver kept on growing..From 3 cm to 4.5 cm..
My doctor suggested RFA which was done last Oct.2011..
I had an ultrasound every 6 for my whole abdomen and every 6 months a ct csan..
The last AFP test i did was 8.6 which is above normal so my doctor asked me to have an AFP again this coming june 15 and if it's still elevated then thats the time i should a have chemoembolisation again but i'm praying really hard that i don't have to undergo that thing again..
