My Mum has stage 4 anal cancer with 3 lymph nodes involved and 1 metastasis on her liver in section 4B.
It went from T2 tumour to this after her PET scan and we were told over the phone.
Today we are seeing the oncologist for the first time since it changed to stage 4. We saw him before and agreed treatment but now he says it is incurable etc and it feels like he is writing my mother off already. They have been awful since we found out, no care no communication and we have had to phone them for everything. Bristol hospital was meant to be good but so far they have just added to the stress and worry my mother has.
Anybody who has/had stage 4 like my mother, what treatment did you get and what treatment helped? Any questions I should ask the oncologist today?
Also any advice on caring for her etc is very much appreciated. She struggles to eat and I have gotten her onto protein drinks to get some calories/protein into her as she has lost weight and a bit of muscle pre any treatment.
