Poor: While the answer to your question is very disheartening, i would advise you to meet with a cancer specialist affiliated with a major institution near you so that you could learn about possible drug trials. You would need to consider the odds of the trial meds helping versus the quality of life you still have remaining. My prayers are with you.

Variable: When tumors are deemed "unresectable"make sure a surgical oncologist skilled in hepatic resections made this evaluation. Unresectable differs from untreatable. Survival will depend on the tumor, its extent and coordination of different treatment modalities. A second opinion my be both informative and helpful- including options for transplantation..
