A member asked:
My gran had her eye removed due to ocular melanoma 3 years ago. now metastatic liver cancer, no treatment. no other info given. life expectancy?

Ask her to ask dr.: Liver metastases from any cancer is not a good sign. However depending on many other factors will determine what her life expectancy is, especially knowing what her constitutional health is, her vitality. So, the best answer would be for her to ask her doctor, or see if she'll give you permission to do so (that must be documented in her chart.) also, make sure that her diet is good, and keep her spirit strong.

Unpredictable: Metastatic melanoma from the eye to the liver can be famously slow-growing and she may have many more good years.
