best treatment for liver cancer - #20348

Rudra

I am really worried about my sister. She was diagnosed with liver cancer a month ago and it’s been a whirlwind ever since. She's only in her late 40s and leading a pretty healthy life till now. Just last week, she started experiencing severe pain in her upper abdomen and some fatigue. After all the tests, including ultrasounds and CT scans, the doctors confirmed liver cancer. We are still absorbing the information, and it feels like information overload. I keep reading that there are different treatment options, but I want to know from you all what is truly the best treatment for liver cancer for someone like her. I read about surgeries, like liver transplants, and also heard about targeted therapies. Would the best treatment for liver cancer change depending on whether it's localized or advanced? There's so much uncertainty around and honestly, we are just looking for any glimmer of hope. I’m also worried about the side effects of various treatments. Do any of you have experience with the best treatment for liver cancer? What should we be asking her oncologist? Any advice would be super helpful right now. It’s just so overwhelming!!
