my wife of 53 yrs was diag with masses like that on her liver which metasized from colorect cancer. she was diag on 26 July and by dec 07 she was gone. the liver produces ammonia which will detroy the brain cells, within 2 weeks she was totaly bed ridden; and the chemo that she received did very little. The radiation helped stop the bleeding in the first month. I am not sure when u wrote this,, but spend quality time with them, NOW.... the time is counting down fast. Soon they wont know or care about too much. She welcomed visiters in early Sept, but was heavy medicated and slept most of that time. Morphine in small dosages will control the pain and yet allow her to be alert if you want to talk, in larger dosages the person will be heavily drugged. The rest of the time was just time alive, but yet not fully aware. I was my wifes total care giver, and kept her at home so she was able to enjoy her home and die with dignity at home. If you can keep the person at home for their last days, I strongly suggest doing so, it will be lots of extra work, but worth every bit, they realize they are at home,,and the care they get in hospital is so undeserving for the battle they are fighting. The time will go by very fast. You will be glad to cared for the perso at home. The time a person has left after being diag with liver cancer that large on the liver is very very short. Enjoy every moment you can with them, and invite family from near and far, tell them straght up the personis dying and doesnt have more than 2 weks to a month, maybe a few months if the chemo is working abit. I recently told a friend in Texas that she best get to Florida to visit her mom, she was going to wait a week. I said no go now,, she did,, her mom died 3 days later. The liver controls the poisons in the body, the ammonia produced is a fast killer. With liver cancer, time is of the essence for seeing that person alive...

orange is sex linked dominate, a female orange cat will almost always have a few orange kittens, and a male orange cat can have orange daughters --- If the orange one is the mother, all the male kittens will be orange. If the orange is the father, you wont get any ginger kittens but you will get tortoiseshell female kittens.
