My husband has end stage hcc. he has been having to have a paracentisis every week now. judging from this information, how long would you say he has?

No one can tell..: Sorry to hear about the diagnosis. It appears like he has failed all the treatment options which includes liver transplantation, hepatic artery embolization and chemotherapy (also called chemoembolization), radiofrequency ablation, and cryoablation. For potentially respectable hcc the 5 year survival rate can be over 50%. Otherwise prognosis is poor. May our prayer be with you.

Unclear: Sorry about your husband. Signs that time is shortening are symptoms that the body is slowing down, not necessarily how often receiving paracentesis. Examples include sleeping more, eating less, less energy, flat affect, sitting or in bed most of the time. Ask for palliative or hospice help if not already in place. Ask your docs about safety/possibility of a permanent drain to drain at home.
