Hi all,
my mother been diagnosed with breast cancer in 12 years ago and had a recurrence in 2015 in the stomache that was blocking food path under went a surgery and chemo. and now had another recurrence again in the stomache and had problems eating. she underwent a surgery and they removed the lump and fixed the food path. but it took us 2 months to start her treatment which is only tablets (abemaciclib) to block estrogen and an injection (fulvestrant) to reduce white blood cells.
my mother recovered from the surgery within 1 month and she was getting back to normal almost pain free, eating and drinking as normal.
but 2 months after the surgery (still haven't recived a treatment) she started having pain in the back, uterer, and progressed to being constipated. every day she have a different type of pain and some days she is fine but just constipated.
Her hospital does not know if the pain is caused by the disease or if there is anything else.
we just want to know if she can be pain free again and if she can live the rest of her life comfortably.
her doctor only recommeded better pain killers and pain management.
They checked her bone marrow luckly there is no cancer there, they also going to do bone scan to check for disease and osteoperosis.
currently her disease spread to stomach middle of the chest and a bit in the back. her lymphnodes are swollen a bit.
please let me know if we can get rid of the pain and no just by using pain killers.
let me know what else we need to check for.
Many thanks,
