Basically no one knows how long a person can live with liver cancer. If something is not done, and fast, the answer is not long. One woman lived 2 months after diagnosis.
Good luck on getting a living donor for a liver transplant. It takes the donor's liver 6 weeks for the missing half to grow back. Do you have any friends or relatives with the same blood type?

I just noticed the last couple days that my mother is getting jaundiced. She has liver mets from breast cancer and just saw this question. Can someone please provide an answer. Thank you.
Don't worry about the quantity of years; instead focus on your quality of life and living the best life for you that you can since it is not known the exact average life expectancy for someone who is a liver transplant recipient.
Life expectancy varies, depending on whether the patient develops scarring of the liver (20% of cases), as 25% of such cases lead to liver cancer and liver failure. Diet, lifestyle, and quality of treatment can all affect the life span of a patient, as well as the availibility of liver transplants in the case of failure. As such, life expectancy is unpredictable and can range from months to decades.
Life expectancy can vary at advanced age the odds are not favorable depending on the stage of the cancer will also need to be factored in to determine life expectancy. Consult a medical professional for more information.
Yes, "hepatic liver cancer" and "hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of the liver" are referring to the same condition. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer, and it specifically refers to cancer that begins in the hepatocytes, which are the main type of liver cells. "Hepatic" simply means "related to the liver," so "hepatic liver cancer" is another way to describe hepatocellular carcinoma or liver cancer that originates in the liver cells.
he died of liver cancer
If someone chooses to be an alcoholic forever, they'll die of liver cancer.Not necessarily cancer but definitely liver disease such as liver cirrhosis. Long-term over use of alcohol can also cause pancreatitis.
It was an egypian named eghaah in 1500 B.C.
Life expectancy of an individual with cirrhosis is measured by the MELD score (modelling end stage liver disease). It is an algebraic formula which used blood test results etc... to estimate life expectancy. Details of the MELD calculator can be found on the "related links".
