Comment:
my husband had liver cancer and passed 2yrs ago. nexavar just prolonged his life for 3 months and pow all of sudden the liver got worse. Nothing saves your life. just prolongs your life a little bit longer so you can suffer more and fight and fight to live and nothing works. so much money spent on cancer research and no cure. something is not right.
