Hi all , 

Im after some help advice , my mum 67 was had emergency surgery for bowel cancer 3 1/2 years ago it had already spread to liver then lungs , her bowel and liver are now clear but lungs are terminal after her 1st lung surgery 9 tumours appeared three months later, 

she's divorced from my dad and refuses me and my brother to appointments, although I've been there for every surgery and all chemotherapy at the start .

today was scan results after 3 months off chemotherapy, she didn't want to talk until I went to visit after work when she broke down..

this kills me as I have very little idea to staging and her expected life span , I gather today sizes have doubled to 21mm although she said cm I think she must mean mm, and she had 9 over both lungs ! Apparently last treatment didn't do much and it doesn't seem like they are hopeful anymore .

I'm getting the opinion it's coming to end of line although she seems reasonable within herself ! And I believe she is thinking the same after tonight . 
 

all advice experience greatly appreciated
