Don’t know whether this is right for me or the place,
My wife was diagnosed in October after being unable to breathe, finding 85% fluid on the lungs, so off we went to emergency department where after a long wait and he aging lungs drained, thought it was an infection only to be back in a couple of days later with same issues, this time stayed in for 2 weeks, on second day was told my partner had stage 4 mastatic cancer from ovaries to lungs, so have gone through six cycles of chemotherapy, and an operation that was offered to remove reproductive system with full hysterectomy as well as spleen part of the stomach and liver, but when surgeons opened up to do removal found out that the cancer has spread to other areas so removal and further operations will not be viable, After marker count had come down from near a count of near 900 to just above 200 thought we was going to be lucky and get a grips on this, what I would like to know can the doctors make a good assessment on time scale or is this not something that should be asked??
Sorry if it’s a bit long, thanks
