What should a person suffering from liver tumor eat to be stronger?
Anything that they feel like. Liver disorders tend to make people not feel hungry, or feel slightly nauseous, so persuading them to eat anything is generally a victory. Trying to maintain a steady weight is important, since if a person becomes very ill with liver disease they tend to lose a lot of weight very quickly, which makes recovery longer and more difficult.
If you find that they are not able to maintain their normal bodyweight just through eating, it's worth discussing nutritional supplementation with their hepatologist. Usually this is in the form of specially formulated drinks (a little like milkshakes) - which are designed to be calorie dense but easily digestible.

Bile is produced by the liver which is then stored in the gallbladder below it, which sends it down the bile duct and into the duodenum where it emulsifies fat particles in the process of digesting lipids.

How functioning of brain depends on the liver?
Normal brain functioning depends on several aspects of normal liver functioning. For example, the liver supplies certain nutrients to the brain that the brain itself cannot produce. The liver also cleanses the blood of substances that could damage brain cells (neurotoxins). Although the brain is protected from many neurotoxic substances by the blood-brain barrier - a property of blood vessels in the brain that prevents passage of many compounds from the blood into the brain tissue - certain neurotoxins can penetrate that barrier. These substances - which include ammonia, manganese, and other chemicals - can enter the brain at least to some extent unless they are effectively removed from the blood by the liver.
