Extensive Hepatic Metastatic Disease (Liver Cancer).?

Last November, i was diagnosed with liver cancer, i was told that the average lifespan was 2 years. Has anybody gone or is going through the same experience? What are your side effects? I am on a trial called "The Max Study", anybody else? I would be glad for any info on this disease, eg, alternative medicine.

Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your illness. Have you checked the American Cancer Society's site yet? They have a lot of info there, plus you can email or call anytime if you have questions. There is clinical trials section there too, but I'm not sure about alternative medicine. I wish you good luck and will pray for you.

Hi There Sipo, I just read your comment--sorry I didn't include the web address for the American Cancer Society. Here it is, in case you didn't find it:

I hope this helps. My best of luck to you.

your details are incomplete.
i'm sorry for the findings. the "2 years" lifespan is a fair comment, but you must understand this is not the case at all times.

*what stage??
*what drugs are you on right now??
*have you taken second opinion already?????
