Mum diagnosed with liver cancer

My 80 year old Mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer around 14 months ago, the tumour was removed but my Mother declined any chemo treatment. She has now been diagnosed with liver cancer, and as she h has declined treatment, they have placed her in palliative care, no one has told us how long she might have, should/can they ?

  • It's difficult. First, it IS difficult to predict and second because of that it is difficult to get an answer. Senior medics wouldn't commit at all when my wife was discharged palliative-only. I rather brow-beated a more junior doctor into going as far as "not months". She died within 6 weeks.
