Kate ,

I’m very very sorry for your loss . I do not know how to explain my feelings.
You were a great daughter that you supported your mum in the hard days especially in the hospital in Greece . I had really appreciated you at that time .

I wish you patience and peace .

Take care ,

Hi Angel,

I’m so sorry to hear about your dad . I do not know what to say but I’m really very upset .You say that he is not in pain and has a smiley face which should give a kind of consolation.
I was following your messages since you first wrote and I can see that my mum’s case was very similar your dad’s . My mum was first diagnosed by May and now she is bed bound , always sleeping and not eating , not talking . 3 weeks ago , her ascities were drained and since that day she is not feeling good and I know that we’re closing to the end.

I ‘m praying for your dad and your family .We should be strong.
Take care ,

Hi Alicia,

I read your message and I’m so sorry to hear about your mum. You are right that it is a rare cancer and in fact there is no definite treatment. My mum was also diagnosed from the same disease on May 2006 . Because of her age The doctors did not recommend any treatment, neither a surgery nor chemo . My mum is 71 years old .
She doesn’t feel good anymore. She is very weak and has ascities . Also she has nausea and doesn’t want to eat anything.
It is too hard to see her in such a bad position but every time something changes I worry and then get use to it. and life goes on .

I pray for your mum. Take care Alicia..

Hi ,

Patricia, Thanks a lot for your reply .

The doctor doesn’t suggest to drain it for this moment since it will re-occur ,” however if she feels very discomfortable you can try ,” the doctor says.
On the other hand, she has started to cough when she lays down. Maybe there is a metasthas through her lungs and also the lungs can be drained after a while, I don’t know.

It is a tough road . I pray for mum and try to keep her happy .

I
Take care ,

Hi Patricia,

I’m so sorry about your husband . I read all your messages and feel deeply sorry . I agree that this is an awful disease .
My mother is cc and she is 71 years old. We’ve known about it for 2 months . We’re walking through a dark road which we do not know how bad things we will come across.
When it was diagnosed two months ago, because of her advanced age the doctors did not advise us a surgery . On the other hand, we are also not advised a chemo by the oncologist .
They only said that leave the disease to its own course.
And the disease is progressing day by day .
She is eating very little and has temperature around 38 but not everyday . We give paracetamols and she is feeling better then. Also she has some abdomen difficulties.
She has asciditis and this makes her uncomfortable .
Patricia , do you recommend to drain it ?
In one of your messges, I read about the Vitamin K is very good .Our oncologist advised us to apply it once a week. I hope she can feel better. It also prevents internal bleeding the doctor says.
She also takes Milk Thistle every day .

She doesn’t know anything about her disease and waiting to get well soon and making plans for the future and this makes me terribly sorry..

Do you have any comments on my mother’s case ?

I wish you all the best Patricia and healthy days for you and for your family.
Take care , Figen
