What Is The Suggestion For A Patient With Advanced Liver Cirrhosis And Cancer?

Hello, My husband has advanced liver cirrhosis and is now showing signs of stage 4 cirrhosis. He sleeps most of the day, has stomach pain and I can t get him to eat very much at all. He has slurred speech and is getting confused, all happened over a couple of weeks. He also has liver cancer. Treatments haven t started, but he looks so bad, does he have long to live?

no, survival of patient, who is already in end stage liver disease is less. most often patients fail because of cirrhosis of liver than liver cancer itself. as you haven't provided the exact extent of liver cancer, I cannot suggest correct treatment.
