My father was just diagnosed with liver cancer a couple of weeks ago, and it is inoperable. I am looking for any possible hope there is. Is there any good treatment centers? Is there anything he can do for himself? He is only 62 years old.

Siteman Cancer Institute is located on the campus of Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis... I highly reccommend it... They gave hope to my sister who was given only six weeks to live. Not to mention they are rated #2 for cancer hospitals in the US. Good luck to you. They really do have a great team of doctors.
