Hi welcome to health care magic....

Noted she has liver tumour of very big size and seems to be malignant hepatocellular carcinoma...
You have not mentioned type of malignancy whether it is HCC or cholangiocarcinoma ??
Anyway tumour has spread to adjacent pancreas and seems to be metastasize...

So here prognosis is very poor if tumor widespread spread...
PET scan or CT scan useful for detection of extent of metastasis....

Consult good oncosurgeon for starting chemotherapy and necessary investigation.
The doctor will do above investigation and according to TNM staging your treatment will be guided.

Meanwhile take low fat diet.
Fruits more....
Green leafy veg more...

Take care ....
