Secondary liver cancer means that the cancer started from elsewhere and spread to the liver. This would amount to last stage disease. It would ve helped had you mentioned the primary site of the cancer as different sites have different survival. But even then, with the onset of jaundice, she is unlikely to survive more than a month unless some intervention is done for the jaundice.
