Hello, My father has been diagnosed with liver cirhossis and HCC. The doctors were to perform a liver transplant but intra-operation we were told that the operation cannot be done as the tumours are more than anticipated. Please advise what to do next.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. This is serious disease if cirrhosis is present and quitting alcohol is the most important thing that should be done. Also, medications which are hematologic should be avoided. This is necessary to prevent disease progression which is lethal in most cases. At early stages it can be treated with these measures but in case of progression. Diet should be balanced and healthy and get regular exercise. Limit high-carb foods such as bread, grits, rice, potatoes, and corn. And cut down on Chat Doctor.
