Thanks for your question on HCM.
Ovarian carcinoma when metastasize in liver, it becomes stage 4 disease. And stage 4 ovarian malignancy is inoperable. We can only provide palliative care in the form of pain killers.
So if she is doing well with morphine than continue this.
And no one predicts life expectancy.
But usually in metastatic ovarian carcinoma, life expectancy is less than 6 months.
