Hiya, In December 2009 my mum was told she had two tumours in her pelvis about 12 centimeters long and on New years eve was told she had 50% chance of survival. She started a 6 weeks course or radio therepy and at the end was told the cancer hadnt gone but had shrunk massively and much more than they expected and after having one more session of radio therepy and 3 lots of brachey was told they were very confident she would be in remission within 4 months. Two months later she had a scan and again was told she was cancer free apart from a couple of small spots which they felt would go over the next few weeks from the radio therepy. 8 weeks later she went for a check up and was having a really really bloated tum, I would say she looks 6 months pregnant. She had a scan and xray and was told her cancer had spread to her stomach and she had months to live, they mentioned chemo but it would only prolong her life for a few weeks. I had no idea cancer could spread this fast and I'm cluting at straws to keep her with us for a couple more years. Ive read that you can have a stomach removed, does anyone know if this is an option? also Ive contacted a top german doctor who treated Farrah Fawcette and gave her a couple more years. Any advice of similar experiences would be really welcome. Still cant beleive this is happening. My husband lost his mum 4 years ago to a similar cancer at the same age as my mum 54. So sad :(
