My mum has been diagnosed with advanced Bowel cancer T4N1, she's had it for 18 months before diagnosis. She is in her 70's, dibetic and has lost weight and very weak. She has said she doesn't want chemotherapy as can't go through the pain of chemo if there's no cure and it will just prelong it. When I spoke to nurse yesterday she kept saying can't say how long she has left the consultant has to tell me. Well I kept saying well hopefully a year or so and she eventually said I don't know but can be 6 months or sooner without treatment. Am seeing the consultant tomorrow for answers. But can anyone shed some light pls from experience how long would you say she has?
