My auntie is a 73 years old woman who found out she got Pseudomyxoma
Pefitonei almost one year ago. She has been doing chemotherapy since
then. Doctors advised not to have surgery because she is old and weak, specially it is her second cancer.
So far it is been around 9 months. She just had a MRI and doctor found
out one of her tumors, which used to be small jelly, is getting bigger
and alomst pushes her lung. We are not quite sure why the
tumor got big so fast but I guess one of the reasons is she was fed by
high protein food too much.
Chinese people believe fish maw, shark fin this kind of expensive food
has high nutrition. Seeing her getting skinnier and skinnier her families
want to boost up her health resistance so I think they fed her a lot of
this.
Now my auntie is way too skinny and only lies in bed every single day
cuz the tumor is big and hurts. I dont know what I can help specially I
heard the doctor said she is too weak to have any chemotherapy and we
can just try to reduce her pain when she is passing her way. Basically
she is waiting for the end of her life and the doctor is doing nothing except
using some Chinese medicine to control growth of the big tumor.
Can anyone tell me if there is any thing my auntie can still
eat and good for healing her sickness? I hate just sitting there even
the doctor told us nothing we can really do. Please, please, please give me some advice. Thank you very much.
