Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it os the same neuroendocrine cancer you have in the past.
You are now having metastasis in bones, liver.
Neuroendocrine tumours are spreading via blood. So tumour cells can practically involve any part of the body. And liver and bones, being the highly vascular organs, have high tendency for metastasis. So in my opinion it is the metastases only.
About life expectancy, metastatic diseases have very poor outcome. Life expectancy is almost 1-2 years only.
At this stage I advice you palliative care only. Painkillers and nutritional support is required.
