Around Christmas my next door neighbor started feeling worse and worse, after many trips to and from the hospital they eventually discovered live cancer!. A family friend told us that liver Cancer does not go away!. Unfortunately it did not!. He was given 4-6 months!. He made it 2, most of it at the hospital!. I hate to say it but your dad's chances are very low!. Im sorry to have to say this but its the facts!.
