I'm not a doctor, but the prognosis for secondary (metastatic) liver cancer can vary widely depending on factors such as the primary cancer site, the extent of metastasis, overall health, and how well the cancer responds to treatment. Survival rates can be influenced by the success of treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or other targeted therapies.
It's crucial for individuals facing a diagnosis of secondary liver cancer to discuss their specific situation with their healthcare team. They can provide personalized information based on the individual's medical history, current health status, and the details of the cancer. Seeking support from medical professionals and loved ones is essential during such challenging times.

A person cannot live without a healthy liver, because of the contributions of the organ to digestion and to cleansing the blood.

(In some cases, a partial transplant may be used to allow a damaged liver to regenerate.)
