Question : My sister has stage 4 liver cancer so we have flown in to see her as she been given only weeks to live. However we were surprised that whilst she had lost a huge amount of weight , she was full of energy and in no pain and other than the weight loss, she looks good. Is this normal for someone only given 12 weeks to live
