@alie, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, an online community of patients and family caregivers, like you. I noticed that you prefaced one of your posts with "to the clinicians." If you would like to seek a second opinion with Mayo experts, you can submit a request for an appointment here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
But back to getting you connected with others like you. You'll notice that I moved your posts to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can connect with members like @pgf @dougmcd @waflanders and @digibson.
Alie, I'm really sorry to hear that the latest treatment is not working for your mom. Have they stopped treatment? Are her side effects subsiding and her appetite returning?

@colleenyoung, we are planning a meeting with my mom's oncologist on Monday, Sept. 12 to discuss stopping the treatment. The severe side effects have taken a significant toll on my mom's psyche, and she is not willing to go through them again (who can blame her?). The effects are subsiding and she is starting to get her appetite back, albeit very slowly. Thank you for the link for appointments. I will schedule one soon...
