Good evening. A stage 4 liver cancer is a bad disease. Moreover he has got HEP B which is the cause of his cancer. The only good treatment available for it is the chemo pill known as sorafenib which is effective in 40 percent of the patients. The average survival will be around 9 months if the patient responds to it.
