How is hepatitis B with cirrhosis treated?

Question
Hello doctor,
My father has chronic hepatitis B and has been taking medicine for 16 years. The liver is now beginning to show symptoms of cirrhosis. So the doctor told me how to treat hepatitis B with cirrhosis? How many years can it last? My father was born in 1975. I thank the doctor.
