Cancer Survivors Network

My mother passed away of liver cancer at the age of 68. She passed quickly. She was diagnosed with it and approximately 6 weeks later she passed away. She had hepatitis as a child. Has anyone ever heard of a relationship between the two?? My aunt, who was a nurse, said she had done patient histories on victims of liver cancer and sometimes they had had hepatitis in their younger years. Does anyone out there know of anything like this?
