What Should I Look For With Last Stage Of Liver Cancer? What Are The Stages In The Last Days?

My mother is a 4 time cancer survivor. She was in remission for lung cancer and now has it in the liver. We are in hospice and I would like to know what types of stages she will go through. It seems to be going really fast. I know you are not God and cant give me a time frame, but can you tell me is this a fast acting cancer? What types of things should I look for to better prepare my child and family. Thank you

    Liver Cancer is a very deadly disease. The stages of Liver cancer are determined by the size of the tumor, whether there is cancer in more than one lobe of the liver, the growth of cancer around major blood vessels, the spread of cancer cells to the lymph nodes or other organs of the body. Here is a link to a website that discusses in detail  the various stages of liver cancer:

      God Bless you all My prayers are with you. With lung cancer and mets to the liver things are not good the survival rate is less than 1%. My father died  this way. It is not a nice way to die after he was diagnosed with mets to the liver, he only lived about a month. He was tired restless sweaty could not eat increased difficulty breathy we had him on a morphine drip the last 3 days of his like he had slipped into a coma like state he gagged and coughed. I prayed to God to please just take him home. I am not trying to be negative but this was not nice for the family to watch We tried everything imaginable but like the bible says thy will be done. Your mom sounds like she survived a lot maybe she can rally. My prayers are with you and your family

        My father-in-law is in the final stages/days of liver cancer and he has lost his appetite and when he does eat it's usually something sweet and easy to digest like jello or pie.  He has not had a "real" meal in well over a month.  He sleeps all the time and his weight loss is picking up and the swelling of fluids is always constant.  He is at home under the care of hospice, his wife and my wife (his daughter).  His color is leaving his face and his pain is increasing.  He is on liquid morphine and his mobility seems to decrease every day.  I have a feeling it won't be long now.  We just do not want him to suffer.  He has had many visitors but has really gone down hill fast, even in the 2 weeks since Easter.  I pray God takes him home before he really suffers.
