“My son has been diagnosed with liver cancer. What should we do next?”
My son is only12 years old and has been diagnosed with liver cancer. We are considering various lines of treatment. Is liver replacement an option? I am overwhelmed and terrified.

It is a difficult time when a loved one gets a diagnosis of cancer. Your son's doctors will be checking to see if the cancer is isolated to the liver or not, and make surgery and chemotherapy decisions from there on. They may not have to take out the whole liver, so a liver replacement would not be necessary. I wish your son the best as he receives treatment.
