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.

∙ 9y agoSecondary liver cancer is much more common than other forms of liver cancer. Each person is different, but one can expect to live can only be based on general health, how much of the liver has been affected, whether or not the cancer has spread, and the treatment options you have been given.
Until you die, plus many pills each days.
Cirrhosis is a scarred liver, normally caused by alcoholism, long-time liver disease. Since the liver is a very important organ, when it fails, you don't have much longer to live unless you get a transplant.
Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. In humans, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and the muscles, and functions as the secondary long-term energy storage (with the primary energy stores being fats held in adipose tissue).
With stage 4 cancer, it is unlikely that a person would live longer than a week without food or water. The food and water is needed to keep the person's strength up.
A person cannot live without a healthy liver, because of the contributions of the organ to digestion and to cleansing the blood. But an adult with a failed liver can survive (under extensive medical care) for a day or two, possibly as long as 3 days, before a transplant becomes necessary. (In some cases, a partial transplant may be used to allow a damaged liver to regenerate.)
Secondary cancer occurs when cancer cells from the primary site break away and spread to another part of the body. No, secondary cancer does not necessarily mean that you have not got long to live, but in truth nobody knows the life expectation of someone with secondary cancer.
