What is life expectancy after HCC diagnosis with and without treatment?
Community Member
12 days agoI was diagnosed with HCC one month ago and was given 4 to 6 months without treatment or 1 to 3 years to live with treatment which was supposed be Immunotherapy since then my treatment has been changed to tablets this is due to blood clotting and my heart condition. I never started my immunotherapy and due to start my tablets this week. I have felt fine up to very recently and used to walk 10-12k steps per day but now I can only manage 2-3k steps without resting, my legs are a little swollen but not too bad, is this lack in energy normal for my stage of liver cancer?

12 days agoLife expectancy with HCC varies greatly between individuals and depends on many factors including cancer stage, overall health, and how well someone responds to treatment. The changes in energy levels and physical symptoms described are commonly experienced by people managing liver cancer, as the body works harder to cope with both the disease and treatment effects. Speaking with the medical team about these recent changes would be helpful, as they can provide personalized guidance and potentially suggest ways to manage fatigue and other symptoms during this treatment transition.
