Hi, my mother found out she has cirhossis of the liver with liver cancer. There were 9 tumors that were found. I dont think she is telling me everything or how bad it really is. I am curious to know if a transplant is even an option or how long she may live with those 9 tumors?
Liver cancer side effects will result from failure of liver to do its functions. To mention few important ones1) Liver stops detoxification function, so all toxic products start increasing in our body.2) deficiency of some vitamins and iron3) problems with maintenance of sugar glucose level in blood.4) problem in breaks down hemoglobin as well as insulin and other hormonesConverts ammonia to urea, which is vital in metabolism-can result in jaundice.5) Bleeding becomes uncontrollable and once starts can't be stopped due to deficiency of clotting factors.
