Research: Liver Cancer?


Can anyone tell me of the detailed personal effects of liver cancer on them?

I can tell you my mums experience with this desease. She firstly started with colon cancer and then spread to her liver. My mum always used to eat quite well but when she started chemo her appetite went completely. From the beginning she knew that her desease was terminal. She quickly started losing weight and eventually her abdomen started swelling due to her liver getting enlarged. Also she was always very sleepy and quite weak. She took vitamins and also she was prescribed some vitamin milkshakes as she was not eating properly. This type of cancer is usually terminal as normally it is a secondary cancer, this means that there is cancer in another place of the body. My mum was given 6 months to live but my mum survived a year and 5 months as her will to live was so strong. Sadly my mum lost her battle to cancer on the 27 May 2006.

my friend had liver cancer....its a dangerous form of cancer because even if the cancer is diagnosed early, its hard to cure because the liver isnt working. Or sometimes it isnt working 100%. He could barely eat. But, thats not completely true. We dont know for sure. Because he also had stomach cancer, and part of his stomach was cut out and stapled. So, he ate very little. After that, he didnt eat much. So, he took some vitamins for the liver, on recommendation from the doctors. As a matter of fact, it helped fight off the cancer. I think its vitamins that help strengthen the immune system or something like that. This is opposite of what doctors say and what universities say. They say that, cancer lives on the same things normal cells do. So, if we eat, we get stronger, and cancer does too. But, they never say that the body has its own natural ability to fight cancer. So, the stronger you become, the better chance of you fighting even strong cancer. He grew very very skinny. He was about 130 pounds. After a while, he was weighing like 90 pounds.
