Hi My aunt is 80 years young and lives in Spain .
she has recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that has spread to her liver . She has three small tumours on liver.
she is feeling fit and is active daily gardening , cleaning ,cooking etc.
she is pain free ,apart from a manageable back ache
she has been told she will have weekly chemo from next week for three months ,three weeks on three weeks off.
before chemo starts she is due another scan to see changes in the last 8 weeks. Because she feels so fit and well she is reluctant to have the chemo and all that goes with it there is no change in the cancer.
she has seen the oncologist once and their conversation ,although she had an interpreter,was limited.
The oncologist was very optimistic and said she would definitely see her next birthday and probably the one after that too.
she really needs to have a good chat with an oncologist so that she can make an informed decision.but don’t know how to go about this,if any one has any info on this I’d be very grateful .
Any thoughts or experiences on making the big decision would be very welcome
many thanks.
