My mum has just been diognosed with having wide spread cancer on the skin of the heart and the lining of the lung and also the liver i believe that this cancer has spred from some unown primery cancer site she has been in intensive care for 2 1/2 months now with recurrent plurel & pericardial effuisions she's had a drain in left and right side now for about 3 weeks and shes on ventilator but she is awake they will not give her chemo untill they say she is strong enough i dont now why they wont give her the treatment i'd rather she had the treatment rather than just sitting and waiting for this cancer to spread further and it is spreading fairly quick within 6 weeks of having a ct scan saying they coudln't see anything and now saying its clearly visable i just dont now what to do she's only 56 if any one has any help or advice i would be very gratfull
