Michka,
I dont have liver mets but I am stage 4 and it took a good while to adjust to that, I still have bad days. But, I saw my oncologist last week and she told me that the liver and the lungs respond best to chemotherapy. So, there is hope and there are a lot of people on this site who have survived a long time with good quality of life with liver mets. I have just got the book 'Beating Cancer with Nutrition' by Patrick Quillan and its very informative, you might check it out. In the meantime get support wherever you can, especially here, and I wish you all the best with your treatment.
