Liver & Lymph Node Cancer

Hello,

I don't normally post in forums but i guess this train i'm on has got me doing all kinds to try and cope.

I'm a Daughter of a fighter and i just hope my post helps someone in the same position one day.

My Mum was diginosed with Cervical Cancer August 2016, this was aggressive and didn't respond to Radiotherapy or Chemotherapy. In November the same year she had a major operation to remove the Cancer but in doing this they had to remove her bladder and bowl. This has left Mum with a Urostomy and Colostomy bags.

After an appointment with her consultant not long after the operation we had found there was minute pin heads of Cancer that could not be removed but they were small so there wasn't any concern.

7 months after the operation my Mum began to lose blood and a mucus down below, after a MRI and CT Scan we have found that the Cancer has spread. The Cancer is now in her Lymph Nodes and spread to her Liver. She has 2 tumors on the Liver and its as agressive as back in August.

As she already received 75 shots of Radiotheraphy in the start, there is only 1 shot she can have, they will provide her with this final shot in order to stem the bleed and mucus as this causes her so much pain. They will also try Chemotherapy but they are not hopeful as this Cancer so far has responded to nothing.

My Mums consultant in August gave my Mum a life expectancy of 12 months, yesterday he said that they cannot put a time frame on this but they would stay with that which gives her around 2 months. I hope to god this chemo helps us.

Very emtional and confused.

    Hi Kelbel,

    I am sorry to hear about your Mum's diagnosis and to discover that neither chemo nor radioherapy have been effective.

    This must be a worrying time for the two of you and, I hope that chemo works better for her this time.

    Do keep in touch and let us know how things are going. We are always here for you 24/7.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
