in Liver Cancer #1
Will anyone be willing to offer ideas or suggestions. I lost my mom to liver cancer four years ago. And now my brother has liver masses that are cancerous. He will see oncologist tomorrow. I feel so hopeless.

    Since you have had two direct family members to develop this cancer, you need to be screened on a regular basis with an ultrasound and AFP. AFP however is not always elevated in liver cancer. Please discuss screening for yourself with your doctor.
