Liver Cancer? Does anyone know about it?How long do you live after you have pain? |
My grandfather was just diagnosed, and it was because he was in pain. The doctors do not want him to eat meat anymore. Does anyone know about how long he has? The newsanchor found out he had liver and colon cancer and a week later he died. Please let me know. Thanks Hepatocellular carcinoma (hepatoma) usually occurs in patients with cirrhosis and is common in areas where infection with hepatitis B and C viruses is prevalent. Symptoms and signs usually are nonspecific. Diagnosis is based on 伪鈥慺etoprotein (AFP) levels, imaging tests, and sometimes liver biopsy. Screening with periodic AFP measurement and ultrasound is sometimes recommended for high-risk patients. Prognosis is grim, but small localized tumors can sometimes be cured by surgical resection or liver transplantation. Cancer in those soft tissues is often quite serious, but I would imagine the time for each person differs. I know a man who lived two months with it, and a man who lived two years. A lot depends on how agressive you treat it, and since he is an older man, they probably won't be so agressive. (The man who lived two years was only 41 at diagnosis, the other was 65). alls i know is that your liver is more valuable than your heart bc you can live without your heart for awhile to get it transplanted but once your liver goes bad...not good each case is diffrent. My friend has been living with liver cancer for 10 years. From what he says the pain never goes away. He has a full life. He works, has a family and get chemo when needed. It is diffrent for eveyone |
