My mother recently passed because of complications with liver cancer. You can spot the symptoms by discoloration in fingernails, eyes, toenails. They will turn a yellow color notifying you the liver is in trouble. Just like muscles in the body, work on your liver to make it stronger. Drink milk thistle, in hot water with lemon x2 per day.

It depends on a lot of things like the cancer type, your immune system capacity but the most important on the patients psychological strength to fight the disease and stay positive despite what the doctor's prognosis might be. Eating lots of vegetables, trying moderate exercise (fresh air walks), and most of all being surrounded by supportive people is important.
