Depends on so many: factors , without treatment outlook is poor. With treatment (transplantation), excellent. Even you can get it done with living donor, who can give part of their liver.

Liver Cancer: That is a difficult question to answer. Since we do not have all the facts especially concerning your overall health otherwise or your current health it is impossible to say. The best person to talk to about this is the physician who is following you now. I am so sorry that you have been diagnosed with this disease. I hope you are able to get a transplant soon.
