Mom had her oncology appt. on Friday. As we were prepared for she is stage 4. What the doctor was surprised at is how aggressive it has been. Since Aug. 30th when she found out, it has already spread to chest and lymph nodes. He gave us 3 options of chemo, a milder, middle of line and a very aggressive one. He said he would suggest the middle which is 5fu, oxalliplatin and one other can't remember the name. She will be on this the rest of her life. He said she has about 6 mo maybe up to a year depending how the chemo works for her. She will be still doing the liver biopsy this friday, we asked if it was still needed and he said yes he would like to know exactly what he is dealing with and how to appropriatley care for her. His main concern is stopping the progression and having quality of life. They really liked the oncologist so I am so thankful they have had great doctors so far. So hard to process all of this and seeing the change in my Mom in such a short time. She has lost so much weight he said calories are the most important right now so he said no diet restriction although she still watches what she eats to not upset her stomach. So hard and I am so sorry to all of you going through this
