[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. Cancer in the liver might be treated with treatments like RACE and RF ablation if chemotherapy is contraindicated. These treatments have patient selection criteria and a clinical evaluation is required to decide if it will work for him. For cancer of liver that cannot be cured, the expected survival is 2 years from detection. It is important to know the accurate details of the cancer and his general health. People with strong will power are known to live longer and this is one area where you might be able to work up on so that he survives longer. Pain relief and maintaining healthy nutrition is recommended to keep him comfortable and pain free. Please do not worry.
