Hi Everyone, My mom was recently diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer that had spread to her lungs. While they were able to remove the colon tumor, the lung tumor is large and lodged near her heart. For that reason, doctors are afraid to operate on it. They were trying heavy chemotherapy on her to see if they could shrink the tumor enough to be able to operate on it, but mom has had horrible reactions to the chemo, and is now in intensive care with a severely compromised immune system. It seems the chemo will not be an option for her, so were wondering if there are any other options or treatments that we might be able to try instead. She's a truly wonderful woman who spent the majority of her life helping everyone she possibly could, often to her own detriment, but that was just her. She couldn't pass by someone in need without trying to do something. As such, it's time for the people she helped so much over the years to now help her. We're doing everything we can to find options that at least provide her with a quality of life. Please let me know if there are any alternative treatments or options we may not be aware of that might be worth looking into. Thanks in advance and God bless you all – |
