A member asked:
Mom is dying of liver failure due to secondary cancer, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sorry 2 hear: We don't have all the details so we cannot answer your question. Her oncologist is the one best suited to do that. If she truly has liver failure, though, she may not have long to live. Make sure comfort, quality of life, and dignity are preserved as much as possible. Be strong and best to both.
