Suzy, I also want to clarify something about palliative care. I think you might be confusing it with hospice care, which is end of life care. Palliative care is also called comfort care. It does not mean end of life or that your husband would not be treated.
Merry had a similar reaction when her oncologist suggested palliative care for her. Read more here:

@suzy212, you might consider Mayo Clinic where your husband would have access to top notch specialists in hepatocellular carcinoma, but also liver transplant. He would benefit from the coordinated care where specialists work with a team of other specialists from many areas, to determine the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs.
To inquire if this might be right for him, start by filling out the online form to schedule a chat with a coordinator: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
