as i stated in my earlier note my wonderful mother was just diagnosed days ago.. i’m still numb and she is in stage 4 surgury is not an option..she is going to give chemo a try but if she doesn’t feel better she said she is going to stop..i also have my father who is 82 with heart and lung issues.. he is terribly upset…i have not told my mother she is in stage iv but she knows there is a not a cure and chemo can potentially help shrink the tumors ..from what i am reading it appears there is some hope and i dont want to discourage my mother it will just depress her more.. i think we all have to try and have hope ….i wish you all blessings….loving daughter
Laura my mother was diagnosed with a tumor on her liver with metasis on october 8th.we just confirmed last thursday it is cc and she was a vibrant 74 year old 3 weeks ago.. i understand what you are going through..my mom is not jaundice and her liver functions are good..up to yesterday she did not want to do any chemo..but she is going to give it a try… we start next week..she does have pain in her upper right side and is not moving well at all and her appetite is weak.. she is taking 10 mg of oxycontin 2 x a day and managing the breakthrough pain with lortab/ it appears to be helping her with pain… she was perscribed 7.5mg of lortab we give her 1/2’s every 4 to 4.5 hours and 1 whole pill before bedtime so she sleeps… i hope this helps..
