I have cirrhosis and had liver cancer (a 5.5cm tumour). I had a resection nearly 3 years ago and everything was fine. A scan in jan showed 2 liver cancers of around 3mm and i went for the first stage of a liver transplant assessment. A scan on this assessment found another legion that was into my blood vessels. I went to see the oncologist yday and he said the only treatment is sorafenib. Nothing else they could offer or do(including trails). I am devastated as i have gone from a cure to basically a terminal diagnosis in the space of a few months. Is sorafanib any good??
