What Are The Side Effects Of Liver Cancer?

Hi, my mother found out she has cirhossis of the liver with liver cancer. There were 9 tumors that were found. I don't 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?

1) Liver stops detoxification function so all toxic products start increasing in our body.
2) deficiency of some vitamins and iron
3) problems with maintenance of sugar glucose level in blood.
