Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion he is having brain metastases from primary liver cancer.
As symptoms like not eating, speaking irrelevant language, not sleeping etc may be due to spread of cancer in brain.
MRI is needed for the diagnosis.
Another possibility is acute psychotic episode. It is common after detection of life threatening illnesses like cancer.
So in any case, prognosis is not good. In my opinion life expectancy is less than 2-3 months.
