Was Diagnosed With Hepacellular Carcinoma In July 2015,been Having Chronic

was diagnosed with hepacellular carcinoma in July 2015,been having chronic abdominal pain and pain in the upper right side by the right rib cage.have taken nexavar and was working at one time,and has stopped,so on Xeloda,have been on it for almost 2 weeks and have to be off of that chemo pill for 7 days to see if it"s shrinking the lesions in my liver.But,what I am most scared about is,what actually is the longest u can live with this type cancer.I have a great appetite,just always in pain and have to take methadone every 8 hours,and it seems to help.i"ve gained 2 pounds.I"ve always been a small framed man weighing no more than 120pounds all my life.But,I lost weight because I was in pain and was in the hospital and didn't want me to eat for 3 days,so a lost again.Since I been out the hospital,I"ve gaines the 2 pounds back plus 2 more,annd I feel good about that,I"m not ready to die,but is there a chance of any other treatment plan out there besides seeing my oncologist.
