A member asked:
Cousin's husband has stage 4 liver cancer from cirrhosis due to alcoholism and hepatitis c. but no metastasis. any hope for him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stage IVA: This is disease that's spread to be inoperable but no distant metastases. Maybe 10% of these folks are alive five years later. A cure is very unlikely even with science marching onward. Hope may come in the form of being surrounded by folks who love him, having a happy marriage (many of us never experience this), or (I hope) exchanging forgiveness and growing spiritually.
