Hi,
I dont know what to say or do, I just need help or guidance with what my mom is going through. Im away from her right now. I live miles away from her and i cant really go to where she is because i was denied a visa. She lives with my dad and im the only one missing. So at the moment i feel helpless.
Mom was diagnosed with stage IVb endometrial cancer last Oct. 2017, has undergone 3 cycles of Chemo eversince, she lost her hair and has lost weight, has had lowered Tumor markers (to which i clung to with all my hope that it would help me indicate her survival), but with all efforts lost because although she has had better results,
new and aggressive cells emerged from her chemo.
She is 61 years old, and if basing her survival from statistics, she only has less than 6 months to live.
During her chemo, though, she was not bedridden. She can even drive herself to her nearby hospital, get food from the fridge, can do simple chores such as cook or clean the floor. But the downside is that she cannot do without pain medication.
She wont go throught the next chemo treatment because the drugs involved will stress her heart and may cause bowel perforation, risks that we all are not willing to take.
she will go take a natural approach, but my doubts and my grief are as vast as the universe.
I have asked her doctor, through a message, about her prognosis, she hasnt answered yet, so i would also want to know if other people has had similar experience with this and could give me some insights about her prognosis.
thanks very much
