Hello, 

I'm 25 and live with my mum. We took her to a&e after she complained of abdominal pain cramp like symptoms that turned into vomiting and unable to eat. Was sent away from gp and a&e numerous times before symptoms reached stage of bad cramps and vomiting. To eventually them realising it was a blocked bowel. They put a tube down her throat to clear fluid before doing surgery to get a full biopsy and adding a colostomy bag to her. 
They have now confirmed diagnoses of deposits of cancerous cells in her stomach lining. And awaiting a histology report before they pass her onto a oncologist who will tell us the next steps. 
I was just wondering anyone knew from their own experience if my mum has a chance of prolonging her life with treatment, or is a obstructed bowel and ascites a sign she doesn't have long left and treatment won't do much? 
I know I should wait for professionals but from our experience I'm scared they are waiting to long to act. 

Any information would be appreciated and I hope who ever reads this is okay as I know from personal experience I wouldn't ever find myself on here if I wasn't experiencing something personal myself. 
stay blessed everyone
