Hi Mr Manoranjan,
How are you? Which place are you writing from? I am so sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis.
I am sure when you say the liver is "burned", you mean it has become cirrhotic? The liver is said to be cirrhotic when it has become hard and stiff instead of being soft. The problem with cirrhosis is that it is a risk factor for cancer, and it is very common for cirrhotics to develop multiple cancers. It is for this reason that the doctors advise you for liver transplantation. A transplant will not only get rid of the cancer in the liver, but also get rid of the cirrhotic liver which could become cancerous later. But not all patients are candidates for liver transplant. Whether or not a patient becomes a candidate for transplant depends on his age, physical fitness, cause of cirrhosis (alcohol, infection etc) and any co-exisiting diseases.

I hope this helped and I hope your dad starts to feel better. lease do not hesitate to contact me for further details especially for places which offer liver transplant in India - rxsuresh@gmail.com
