Sorry to hear this about your friend! She already has damaged liver because she developed signs and symptoms of liver malfunction. That happens in the late stages of disease. She probably has mild or no jaundice (a yellowish discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes) and if the jaundice progressively worsens there are only couple of weeks before she dies. Also, before she die may become confused and drowsy as toxins accumulate in her brain, a condition called liver encephalopathy. No one can live without functional liver due to its important role in our body.

Some of these symptoms seem familiar with my dad's situation as well. My dad's liver cancer has caused kidney failure. I think there's internal bleeding. There's a huge bruise on his waist and some bruises on his belly.

Under his belly is filled with fluid, which is the reason to why his belly is so huge and bloated. It doesn't seem like there's much time for him left, so I must find a cure quick!

PLEASE HELP MEEE!!!!!!

I wrote to you at the two other topics.
Please, check them!

My mother has advanced cancer. She was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in Nov 08. Only 8 months later (and after treatment) she was diagnosed with secondary liver and bone cancer...She has not been given a prognosis but has also not been classified as 'terminal'.

HOWEVER...after her 2nd cycle of Chemo, she was rushed to hospital with a vascular rash covering over 50% of her body, severe sweating, confusion and extreme drowsiness. We were informed she had contracted an infection and chemo would no longer be an aid in treating her of the cancer. She still has a high percentage of liver function. Are there any suggestions to this case and how long she may have left? We were told days if she can't fight infections, but without treatment, how long?

Im very sorry to hear. My aunt died last january of liver cancer as secondary to pancreatic cancer. it advanced very quickly when she was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic and liver cancer she was given about 6 months but died in about 2. Jaundice set in about 2-4 weeks prior to her death and within the last week she was bed ridden couldnt eat or keep down many fluids she was incoherent the last 48-72 hrs of her life and couldn't get comfortable though she wasn't responding to stimulus (touch, speech) odds are it wont be too long. Again Im very sorry. Im also not a doctor but do hope their suffering subsides soon:)
