Please do not give up hope. Tell your mom that it is time to fight.
My mom had to go through colon resection in August and then liver resection in November and started chemo in January. She wanted to give up numerous times and had to fight the fight everyday.
We were told that her cancer had returned to her liver after her first postop ct. They were wrong! We just got the results from the PET scan today and it showed NO CANCER anywhere in her body! Miracles can happen.
It is hard, it is rough and it stinks. But get through it together, you can do it and she can do it too!
Good luck to you.
